The initiative includes eye-catching wholesale and in-store activations, hologauze projections on iconic landmarks, a takeover of Piccadilly Lights Digital Out of Home, and an immersive McVitie’s Chocolate Digestives Experience.
The campaign positions the iconic Chocolate Digestive as the creative centerpiece of a nationwide celebration. First created in 1925, McVitie’s “reinvented the wheel” with the introduction of this beloved biscuit.
A century later, the classic chocolate treat remains a staple, proving that truly great inventions like McVitie’s Chocolate Digestives stand the test of time.
Humorously placing McVitie’s Chocolate Digestives alongside the world’s most groundbreaking inventions such as the wheel, mobile phones, and sliced bread, the campaign uses wit to highlight how the everyday can be just as revolutionary.
It suggests that McVitie’s Chocolate Digestives might just be the nation’s greatest invention there through times of hardship, friendship, celebration, and a good old chat with family.
Aslı Özen Turhan, Chief Marketing Officer at Pladis UK&I, said:
“Very few things in life remain loved for a century, but the Chocolate Digestive has stood the test of time.
It has been there for tea breaks, late-night snacks, and countless moments in between always delicious, always dependable.
This campaign is a fun, celebratory way to mark 100 years, highlighting what makes McVitie’s Chocolate Digestives so special.”
