Boursin

We Summer. Oui Boursin.

The Challenge
Seasons eatings

For years, Boursin was seen as a Christmas cheeseboard staple.
But when you removed the formality of the dining table, many people struggled with what to do with Boursin – leaving it rarely purchased or even thought of throughout the rest of the year. Our challenge was to drive penetration and consideration of Boursin during the summer – taking away tradition and introducing it to the sociable and informal eating spirit of the warmer months.

The Insight
The time to be bold

Summer is a time to be carefree, but also a time to be adventurous – the weather is warm, moods are lifted and barriers are removed. While other brands have latched onto this spontaneous spirit, with its unique and distinctive flavour, nobody embodies individuality quite like Boursin. This inspired our insight – we wanted to encourage consumers to ‘be as bold as Boursin’.

OUR IDEA
We Summer. Oui Boursin.

We celebrated the feeling of freedom with our campaign ‘We summer. Oui Boursin’. To kick off Boursin’s mission to become the cheese of the summer we launched a vibrant, special-edition pack design. An integrated media plan was designed to maximise reach and ensure our new seasonal status reached as many food enthusiasts as possible. OOH and retailer media delivered the brand message at scale, engaging content and brand partnerships gained additional reach on social media, and we visited nine summer food festivals, with a drive-to-purchase coupon making all activity work extra hard.
