Daisy Foods鈥 first national promotion for Daisy Sour Cream Dips courts younger consumers with a twist on its popular jingle ('do a dollop of Daisy'). The work from agency Blue Chip puts Daisy鈥檚 French Onion and Creamy Ranch Dips at the centre of the party as men and women dip carrots, celery, potato chips, chicken wings, even pizza. 鈥淓verything tastes better when you鈥檙e dipping with Daisy,鈥 intones the singer 鈥 so much so that it鈥檚 a major party foul to snatch it away, as one guy does (to three women鈥檚 horror) at the close of the action.
鈥淒ips can accent any food and make it more fun,鈥 said Darick Maasen, creative director at Blue Chip. 鈥淪o, we鈥檙e showing it as the life of the party and fuel for good times.鈥
A closeup on the package shows natural ingredients without a list of shelf stabilisers common in the category. Daisy engineers dedicated decades to reintroducing the product, which was popular in the Seventies, to get everything just right. Similarly, the brand has moved measuredly in marketing Dips. The product relaunched over a year ago, and built distribution with on-shelf advertising before Blue Chip debuted a radio spot in August.
The 'Dips on Dips on Dips' spot will court consumers in high-profile media throughout the fall and winter. Ads are running on The Food Network, HGTV, TLC, and NCAA Football via the ACC, CW, SEC, Big Ten, and Big 12 Networks.
