Copenhagen, Denmark, 23.05.2023 – Copenhagen-based TBWA\Connected has partnered with Icelandic marketing technology firms Ghostlamp and The Engine Nordic to launch a campaign promoting the consumption of North Sea Herring. The project aims to educate younger generations in popular markets on how to cook and eat Herring from the North Sea, all while supporting sustainable fishing practices.
Led by TBWA\Connected, with execution by The Engine Nordic, the initiative is being carried out by a collaborative team from Denmark, Iceland, and Norway on behalf of Denmark’s Association of Food Producers. Ulf Westmark-Højelsen, Creative Director and Partner at TBWA\Connected, stated, “Through our master film and many short films, landing pages, and inspiring recipes, we’re introducing a modern culinary take on Herring to younger generations across Europe.”
Valgeir Magnússon, Chairman of the Board at Pipar\TBWA, expressed excitement about the project, saying, “The cooperation between the agencies and The Engine Nordic and Ghostlamp is showcasing how creativity, performance, and technology should play together.”
Valgeir Magnússon says the project is thrilling and demonstrates how creativity, performance, and technology can work together. This approach is based on previous successful collaborations, including launching Arctic Char in the US with Whole Food Markets and promoting North Sea Prawn with Sainsbury’s in the UK.
The campaign runs in Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, and Sweden, with landing pages and recipes tailored to each market. Selected influencers will also contribute by creating recipes and short cooking shows in their home countries.
Not only is North Sea Herring a low-carbon protein source, but it’s also packed with vital vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids. With this campaign, TBWA\Connected, Ghostlamp, and The Engine Nordic hope to make this sustainable and delicious fish a staple on menus across Europe.
