2020 Winner

CASE SUMMARY

Canadians have a hard time viewing eggs as anything other than breakfast food. In some households, preparing an omelette or eggs benny for lunch might even be considered “weird.” The Egg Farmers of Canada and Cossette wanted egg lovers to realize there’s nothing unusual about eating those dishes at any hour – in fact, you’re weird if you think otherwise. A pair of videos flip the script on the traditional narrative, pointing out situations that make eating eggs for lunch and dinner seem normal in comparison: in one, a man has a girlfriend who looks exactly like his mother; in the other a man wears pants up to his chest. The campaign was supported by OOH ads featuring copy like, “Eggs for lunch. A completely, totally super normal thing.” The effor boost national sales by 2.3% – the equivalent of more than 21 million eggs.
