ALDI Australia is encouraging Australians to go all-out this festive season and allow generosity to reign. To the extreme in this case.

“It’s time to spoil them senseless, insist they have thirds and fourths, and never, ever, take full for an answer.”

‘Overcooked Generosity’ is the second installation of ALDI Australia’s ‘You Can’t Overcook Christmas’ campaign, which launched last year.


 

The absolute zaniness that ensues over who should eat the last shrimp makes it quite a fun watch as grandma shows acrobatic moves that we could have never known she possessed.

 

Creative director at BMF, David Fraser, said: “Overcooking such a simple truth felt like it would strike a chord with Aussies. And hopefully ALDI can help families have one less argument this year.”


 

The integrated campaign will roll out across key media channels including TV, outdoor, radio, digital, social, PR, catalogue, owned website, EDM, media partnerships, and POS.
