Tayto Snacks Carol McCaghy

Winner

Our Where is Mr. Tayto campaign was a multiphase brand campaign aimed at putting Mr.Tayto back in the spotlight while making him more relevant to a younger cohort and unmissable in their digital world. This digital first campaign captured Gen Z’s attention through entertaining, relevant daily content. We boosted engagement throughout the campaign via polls, competitions and trends. Spectacular footage on Socials showcased a lusting-for-life Mr.Tayto full of personality and our highly reactive approach was key in reaching a new audience which has continued to grow, securing Mr.Tayto’s seat at the table with a new generation of Irish consumers!
