Albert Bartlett’s frozen offering is now the UK’s fastest-growing major frozen potato brand**. Albert Bartlett is further investing in the brand this year with the launch of the feel-good advertising campaign which aims to capture the imaginations and hearts of the nation. The ‘Make It Extraordinary’ campaign represents Albert Bartlett’s playful charm and personality, capturing its essence, character and wit. The brand prides itself on its bold and unique spirit which is what the new campaign embodies.
The advert, a collaboration between creative & research agency, Guy & Co, production company, Infinite and media agency, Carat, brings together a heavy-weight list of artistic talent from across the globe. Starring a trio of acrobats from Canada’s Flip Fabrique circus group, including social media phenomenon Jacob Grégoire, alongside Alicia Beaudoin and Dylan Herrera. The cinematic extravaganza is directed by silver Cannes Lion 2021 winner Nalle Sjöblad and includes a potato-themed musical re-composition of Verdi’s classic “Libiamo, ne’ lieti calici” from La Traviata, arranged by renowned composer Debbie Wiseman OBE.
To celebrate the launch of the ‘Make it Extraordinary’ campaign, Albert Bartlett will be running a challenge across Instagram and Tik Tok judged by Jacob, with the top prize being an extraordinary trip to London to meet Michel Roux Jr at his restaurant, Le Gavroche.
Michael Jarvis, head of marketing at Albert Bartlett, said: “The team has made Albert Bartlett’s obsession with product quality into the focus of the advert, in a bold and humorous new direction for the campaign. Alicia, Dylan and Jacob leap, tumble, and juggle through the process of selecting, washing and drying not just good, but extraordinary potatoes to make it into Albert Bartlett bags. The resulting adverts and integrated activity around them are unlike anything else in the category and we are very excited to see the whole project coming to life.”
