3.10 case study
Peperami, one of the largest UK consumer brands, is a pork sausage snack
manufactured by Unilever in Germany and Britain. Launched over 15 years ago, the
brand communications had been handled by one creative agency from its launch until
August 2009. Unilever decided to work with Idea Bounty (www.ideabounty.com) to
crowdsource the concept for their new Peperami campaign.
The Animal, a crazed, masochistic sausage character, represented the brand in
advertising communications. The character is well known and much loved for his
uninhibited, unapologetic, and politically incorrect behaviour. For the last 15 years, he
has been a central part of every Peperami campaign.
