Challenge

Reinvigorate Munch Bunch and bring the brand heritage up-to-date whilst reviving the ethos of its roots via the launch of a new on-pack character Munch The Cow.

Solution

We took the brand back to its storytelling roots with a modern edge: a search for mums who can create exciting children’s stories for a series of podcasts.

To launch the campaign, we enlisted the help of celebrity mum Gail Porter as the voice of new character, Munch the Cow. Working with our ambassador provided great inspiration for mums well as a hook for communicating the competition and gaining coverage through radio and print interviews. By working with a child psychologist we also brought to life the importance of storytelling and getting creative to a child’s development.
