A series of plant-based billboards can be spotted in the UK from frozen food brand Birds Eye and they promote the Green Cuisine range by "hijacking" billboards from competing brands that make meat products. With these out of home advertisements, the brand is challenging chicken lovers to trade their usual bucket and finger-licking habits for plant-based dippers. As Birds Eye states, "It doesn’t have to be chicken to make you wanna lick your fingers."
This campaign supports the recent relaunch of the Birds Eye Green Cuisine brand, which came with a fresh new look and packaging for the range of plant-based products. The fresh, bright and green billboards match the new look of the product packaging and help to position the plant-based products as crave-worthy.
