Creative & Production Services Market: Dolmio revives puppet family for 40th anniversary
Dolmio has brought back its iconic puppet family after a 10-year hiatus to mark the brand's 40th anniversary. The 20-second spot, created by agency T&P, modernises the characters (including a social-media-savvy teen) while leaning on classic visual cues such as a checked tablecloth. Mars Food & Nutrition (Dolmio's owner) says the campaign celebrates evolving mealtimes and aims to remind audiences that shared dinners still bring people together. The rollout spans nationwide prime-time TV, VOD, creator partnerships, in-store activity and OOH, including a giant 3D billboard in Shepherd's Bush, London. Credits list senior brand and creative leads from Dolmio and T&P.
A consumer-brand creative campaign relaunch with multi-channel media execution; notable for creative and OOH elements but limited broader AdTech industry impact.
