Ogilvy's Apple Campaign Features Fictional Letters
The Swiss Fruit Association, in collaboration with agency Ogilvy, launched a campaign for Swiss Apple Day featuring fictional letters from cultural and historical figures—Adam, Eve, William Tell, and Isaac Newton—each reflecting on their experience with an apple. The campaign includes OOH, print, digital, and social media components, as well as an online film produced by Shining and JingleJungle. The letters personify the apple's cultural significance, with Adam seeking compensation, Eve crediting the apple for awakening curiosity, Newton attributing gravity discovery, and Tell expressing gratitude. The campaign executes a creative storytelling approach to promote apple consumption in Switzerland, running around September 11, the designated Apple Day.
Regional consumer campaign for a fruit association, limited impact on AdTech/MarTech industry.
