EASTER HUNT FOR THE BEST AD? IT PAYS MARKETERS TO RESPECT TRADITION – IDEALLY WITH AN INNOVATIVE PLOT TWIST

1. 4. 2024 | 12 min read Although Easter is primarily a Christian holiday, it is infallibly a huge event in the world of marketing and television advertising. In particular, retail chains, food companies and candy makers of all kinds cannot miss it. Every year they come up with a fresh batch of campaigns brimming with eggs, bunnies and every other possible symbol of the spring holidays. If you haven’t had a big dose of sweets yet, watch out! Today, you will be reading mostly about lots of chocolate. Cadbury - Clucking Bunny (1983-???) Easter is associated with traditions and the same is true of its imprint in television advertising. One such tradition was established by Cadbury almost forty years ago when the British company introduced its Easter Bunny on TV screens. The bunny brings the legendary Creme Eggs, one of the iconic products of the global chocolatier, into stores year after year. The original advert’s content was relatively simple - basically just a couple of shots of the bunny making strange noises followed by a basket full of Creme Eggs. But the most important is what came after that. Cadbury decided to build on the inconspicuous advert. In the years that followed, the firm came with the message that all other animals desperately wanted to be like the Cadbury bunny but couldn’t. The real masterstroke came later when the company decided to run a viewer poll each Easter where customers could vote on which animal would be the Easter Bunny for that year. Last year, it was a cat from Boise, Idaho, USA; this year, voters chose a raccoon. For Cadbury it means that their marketing idea still survives after many decades, getting the variations that the consumer wants and making the launch of the new spot a major Easter event.
