Pete & Gerry's show us that you don't need to get chased by an ostrich to get fresh eggs plus... 6 more brands that use the same creative structure.
A snapshot look at a trending campaign with a curated pick of past campaigns that use a similar creative approach in some way.
The 'You don't have to...' framework is the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to creating attention-grabbing ads that have the potential to dramatize the product benefit and be laugh-out-loud funny. The latest brand to leverage the framework is egg brand Pete & Gerry's that partners with more than 180 small family farms across America.
The brand's Pasture-Raised Eggs hit the market earlier this year, offering high-quality, delicious eggs from hens raised to Certified Humane Pasture-Raised welfare standards, which guarantee that each hen enjoys at least 108 square feet of lush pastures with room to roam, forage, and explore under sunny skies.
To communicate this brand benefit they've launched a series of commercials titled "(Almost) The Wildest Eggs You Can Get." which essentially points out that you don't have to go to great lengths - like stealing an Ostrich egg in the wild - to get get fresh eggs - you can just buy Pete & Gerry's instead.
