The Martin Agency launched a new global campaign for Oreo, called “Play With Oreo.”
“Fans have always played with Oreo in a number of unique ways by twisting, licking, dunking, rolling, stacking and dipping the cookie. Now, the brand is on a mission to inspire imagination and play around the globe, not only with the cookie itself, but in consumer’s everyday lives,” the brand explained to Adweek.
Coming on the heels of such playful efforts as 360i’s Halloween “Nomsters,” the new campaign is far from a dramatic shift for the brand. Indeed, the new ad keeps the “Wonderfilled” platform (and tagline) intact. The animated spot, set to an original tune by French electro-pop act Yelle, focuses on all the different ways consumers play with and tweak their Oreos. “It’s so easy to let your imagination go when you play with Oreo,” the song (and spot) concludes.
It comes across as a pretty natural evolution for the brand, building on previous “Wonderfilled” efforts as the brand sharpens its focus on imagination and play. The ad will make its U.S. broadcast debut — in both 15 and 30 second versions — next Monday, eventually airing in over 40 countries. In other Oreo news, the brand confirmed that Red Velvet Oreos will be released in time for Valentine’s Day.
