The Bahlsen Family Bake Off

The Great British Bake Off final has been and gone, but I don’t know who’s won so please don’t tell me. I promised to watch it with my son, I’m now re-enacting that episode of the likely lads where their whole day is spent trying to avoid accidentally finding out the results of last night’s match. Except this time it’s a 37-year-old woman and an 11-year-old boy, united by their love of an even rise and dread of a soggy bottom!

Baking, once the preserve of grannies and yummy mummies, has gripped the nation once again, and this year our Bahlsen Bake Off campaign joined in the fun.

We invited some of our favourite parent bloggers to make a vlog of them baking their favourite recipe using Bahlsen biscuits.  The Choco Leibniz cookbook and the campaign, not only produced positive associations for the brand, but provided a whole new fresh stream of suggestions about how the biscuits could be used and enjoyed outside the regular dunked-in-a-cup-of-tea option.

The fact that this was user-generated content only heightened its appeal.  This wasn’t glossy, cynical advertising; this was real people showing how they can – and do – use the product.

Fun and delicious, that sums up chicken/egg!

The Bahlsen Family Bake Off

New Client: Bahlsen

We were very excited to pick up our first brief for Bahlsen earlier this month.  We were tasked with a quite a feat as they wanted to squeeze what had been previously quoted as a 4-day photoshoot into a day!

With some meticulous planning and a fully scoped out creative shoot schedule we spent Saturday 20th with 3 crew, 9 models (including 3 under 11’s), a bulging bag full of props, enough biscuits to open our own corner shop and a client who was rather nifty on the ‘biscuit wrangling’ front (never was a biscuit out of place I can tell you!) – from 9am to 6pm we just didn’t stop and by the end of day we’ve shot 8 different scenarios plus we’d shot their whole range as pure product shots as well.

We love a challenge and we love it even more when show that we can deliver …

So if you’re starting to think about your current portfolio of lifestyle and product shots we’re just a phone call away!
