The fully integrated campaign features a unique focal point in the form of the humble pharmacy bag.
While chemists large and small sell similar products, the campaign seeks to strengthen Blooms The Chemist鈥檚 position as the consistent provider of both expert care and always low prices.
Cutting through the noise of the crowded marketplace, the campaign is centred by a simple promise: 鈥淭his bag holds a lot more than you鈥檇 think.鈥
The campaign emphasises the knowledge and confidence that only the great customer-relationship experience of Blooms The Chemist can bring. Through a series of scenarios that range across kids with sniffles, managing mental health challenges, and caring for elderly loved ones, the campaign explores and celebrates all the unseen, intangible benefits of shopping with the brand beyond just stocking up the medicine cabinets.
Yvette Costi, chief marketing officer at Blooms The Chemist, said, 鈥淎t Blooms The Chemist, we pride ourselves on going above and beyond simple transactional relationships with our customers. This campaign showcases our expertise in care, and the seemingly small yet meaningful impact we make in their lives.鈥
Jonathan Heath, creative director at Hardhat, said, 鈥淭his was a great exercise in reduction for us. Getting down to a singular representation of what the brand stands for, and remaining true to the experience that everyone has when they go to Blooms The Chemist.
But from one simple asset, we鈥檙e able to go in so many directions. As a mixture of the literal and the evocative, we鈥檙e really excited to see how much more we can pull out of this bag. Plus, you should see one floating in the wind 鈥 it鈥檚 the most beautiful thing I鈥檝e ever seen.鈥
