BMF has launched its first work for The a2 Milk Company since winning the account.
The new brand platform, “Only a2 Will Do,” accompanied by the hero film, Tough Tummies, celebrates the everyday of heroism our stomachs while recognising the natural absence in a2 milk of the the A1 protein found in most conventional milks.
The a2 Milk Company’s chief marketing officer, Edith Bailey, said those with stomachs sensitive to milk will often have to avoid the product to prevent feelings of discomfort. However, she explained that for some people, the A1 protein found in most milk could be what’s negatively impacting their digestive comfort.
“But a2 Milk is real milk from carefully selected cows that naturally produce only the A2 protein and no A1,” said Bailey. “We wanted to feature real tummies, ‘Tough Tummies’, to celebrate how we can thrive with a2 Milk.”
Creative director at BMF Australia, Harry Stanford, described the TVC as portraying, “A whole range of authentic Aussie tummies living their best lives.”
“a2 Milk may be beneficial for some people who are sensitive to the A1 protein, so seeing the world from a tummy’s view was the perfect way to launch our new long idea,” said Stanford.
The Tough Tummies campaign will be rolled out across TV, OOH, social, and programmatic channels.
In March, a2 Milk announced the appointment of Omnicom Media Group’s Resolution Digital as the dedicated global website agency for the brand, promising the application of an ‘evolution’ framework to deliver a frictionless, customer-centric experience across all of a2’s websites.
In March last year, This is Flow was tapped to manage the media planning and buying for a2 Milk.
The work from BMF closely follows a series of promotions within the agency’s creative and innovation departments earlier this week, including Dave Roberts and Tom Hoskins to the shared role of group creative directors.
