Kellogg's Nutrigrain Campaign: Love It. Now Extend It.

Hats off to the folks at Kellogg’s who appear to be responsible for their own new TV campaign for Nutrigrain Bars.

Things to love about this campaign:

1). It’s simple

2). It’s contextual

3). We don’t see the person so we become the person

4). It has a simple, believable takeaway

5). It has legs. If I had the Marketing Director's ear, here's what I'd tell her:

"Create another spot aimed at moms with the 'snack-cam' following a kid from the donuts at soccer practice to the video game on the couch to the chauffeured roundtrip to school. The 'after' segment will feature a bike commute to school, fruit and Nutrigrain bars after practice, a game of good old-fashioned basketball with Dad in the driveway, maybe even, dare I say it, flossing..."

I am the founder and creative director of Maternal Instinct, a Palo Alto agency of creative problem solvers for marketing to moms. I am lucky enough to get paid to spend my days helping big and small corporations figure out how to make moms want to do business with them. (I don’t get paid for my nights and weekends, caring for my two boys, which is far, far more tiring.) My 20-year advertising career spans both coasts: in New York (my hometown) and San Francisco, my home today with husband Gene and boys, Henry and Benjamin. I have peddled products for every industry -- credit cards, wine, cars, magazines, jewelry, hotels, software, phone service -- and even picked up a Clio and a few ADDYs along the way.
