Background: Emerald Nuts was only in its second year as a brand and needed to increase name recognition. Our Super Bowl TV campaign used acrostics that built the name, “E-M-E-R-A-L-D N-U-T-S.”
Creative Solution: For two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, newspaper and digital ads drove people to a contest on their website. Here viewers could watch the full animation and/or create their own acrostic. The winner with the most creative acrostic won $1000 plus a bunch of nuts and their entry was illustrated by a New Yorker cartoonist and ran as a full page ad in USA Today on Super Bowl Sunday. And the three spots below ran during the Super Bowl.
