In their own words…..very positive “I think it’s great…. Very amusing and well thought out. Though it did take me to the end to work out is was an ad for lamb and not a new and bizarre movie coming out!” “Very creative and entertaining. Certainly an ad where many catch phrases will be used everyday!” “A refreshing take on advertising what could be a bland subject. I actually thought- for about 15 secs- that it was a new movie coming out and that’s what held my attention. The the joke dawns on you and you are captivated- waiting for the joke you know is coming” “It was very clever that they made it like a mini movie… it was very amusing and I would love to see it more on television… the meat puns were funny” “A clever way of attracting people’s attention. And it makes me hungry… great ad”
The ad treads the line of funny/cheesy, with a small minority not realising the joke (believing the ad to be a movie trailer) “Clever but I though it was an ad for a movie at first. Rosemary Spriggs and Clive Ovens are really cheesy and so are the lamb jokes. The “Shanks” bit at the end is the worst!” “It’s a silly ad and I don’t know what it has to do with lamb” “A bit cheesy but entertaining” “I really thought it was a movie trailer for a movie about to come out” “Not much information on lamb but the movie looks okay”

Lamb summary • Although still early days, the recent ‘Lamb is in the air’ activity is working well • Cut-through measures of branding, involvement and enjoyment are high (on par with Australia Day and a marked improvement on Lâmb) • Initial indications suggest an efficient execution with a strong AI • The creative idea is well-received (clever and amusing), communicates on strategy and does a reasonable job of building appeal • Also translates well in print/POS copy • Brand response to the activity will become more apparent next month • While difficult to isolate without specific TARP information there is an impact on Lamb from the Coles activity • In the long term, despite a sustained period off air this year’s activity has maintained lamb’s imagery perceptions • Lamb’s imagery profile remains the same year-on-year, however lamb has become less old-fashioned
Next steps lamb • Executionally a strong performer, potential to elongate spend through next burst given power of the creative to cut through • Confirm with next month of data when AI becomes clearer • Coles work is impacting on Lamb as seen by our diagnostics • What potential exists to integrate media lay down? • Increase in kids favourite for lamb is interesting in the context of beef
How we can use the AI - A case study
What ‘styles’ of ad are there in the lager market ? Character Story Not necessarily independent groups Lads Mood/Style Event related
Subtle humour No humour Funny Silly Humour
Beef • Has Beef Kids (Winter Meals) been as successful as the Summer Meals version? • How has media spend impacted the ad’s performance? • Can the campaign be stretched- re-aired in February? • Other factors influencing Beef’s performance?
Total TARPs behind the second burst of Beef Kids lower than March/April ‘07- however, TARPs against mums have been similar
Some uplift in advertising awareness in line with Beef Kids (Winter)- however not reaching the peak achieved in the first burst
..However the model suggests equal efficiency of cut through – an AI of 6 in line with the first burst
…but amongst mums there was an uplift from June, outside any specific MLA activity - any thoughts? Note the strong supermarket presence in June-Aug
Recognition and branding of Beef Kids improved since first aired, particularly amongst Mums (a likely combination of executional tweaks and the association with kids building with a 2nd burst) Recognition:Have you seen this advert on TV?

What has been the brand response to ‘Beef Kids (Winter)’? • Has this improved on the response to Beef Kids (Summer)?
…no further build in a childrens favourite, but initial rise has been sustained
However, ‘Well liked in the HH’ has continued to build from Feb ’07, reaching it’s peak as Beef Kids (Winter) is aired
..And Beef Kids (Winter) working harder to close the gap between chicken and beef in perceived versatility
Long term build in mean serves amongst Mums target observed up to 2nd burst
