VCCP Health launches a new Jungle Formula national press campaign

VCCP Health has created a new press campaign for Omega Pharma to launch the new Jungle Formula ‘Outdoor and Camping’ product. The product, particularly suitable for the UK, protects against midges, wasps, mosquitoes, bees and horseflies. The press campaign breaks in the mainstream press this weekend and is the first major press campaign for the brand.

To launch the new product, VCCP Health has tapped into the recession-busting trend of the ‘Staycation’ by featuring barbeques and tents created out of insects. They have also gone one step further to develop a tactical Diamond Jubilee advert which will break in the press before the Jubilee weekend.

“We hope this campaign will help us over-turn consumer perceptions that Jungle Formula is just for the jungle and by doing so, we hope to expand the number of usage occasions for the brand during a summer where Britain will be the place to be.” Yianni Papadopoulos, Marketing Director, Omega Pharma UK

‘We were delighted to win an IPA effectiveness award for our Jungle Formula TV campaign in 2011 and this is the first time we have ever developed a tactical advertising campaign for the National Press…. and what a summer to be doing it!’ Paul Phillips, Managing Director, VCCP Health
