Wearing in, not wearing out: Six years of Food Love Stories (and counting)

In an industry that fetishises ‘new’ and short-termism, this is a story about doing the opposite through a big, enduring idea – Food Love Stories.
How six years of careful stewardship helped that idea become more successful than ever, transforming the nation’s biggest grocer from faltering to flourishing.
How an unwavering belief in the power of long-term brand building paid off, even when Tesco found itself caught in a history-defining pandemic.
When other brands react to changing headwinds by starting anew, this is a story of bravery in committing to what’s worked before.

Kevin versus John - How a humble carrot usurped a national treasure to win the UK’s Christmas Ad crown

By consistently sticking with and investing in Kevin for 6 years, and not being seduced by the desire for novelty and innovation, Aldi took on and beat the giants of Christmas advertising, John Lewis and Coca Cola, to become the UK’s most effective and favourite Christmas advertising. Kevin was declared ‘The Nation’s Favourite Christmas Ad’ in 2020, and again in 2021, even surpassing the iconic ‘Coke Truck’. Most importantly Kevin has helped to deliver a 6-year value share growth of 54%, £618m in incremental revenue and an overall ROMI of 241%. Not bad for a humble vegetable.
