Today marks the release of DC’s first campaign for InnovAsian since being named agency of record. The four 15-second spots use rhymes that play with the catchphrase “InnovAsian occasion” to help consumers better remember the brand when navigating the crowded grocery freezer aisle.
The spots will run nationally on TV stations in 20 markets and on social media. As part of the media strategy, two 15-second spots will run during the same commercial break — separated by other marketers’ ads — to reinforce the rhyming message and drive recall.
