THOMY, the well-loved Swiss condiments brand, is taking a new direction in its product and advertising with a visually captivating ad campaign led by award winning Zurich agency, Walker.
Each film focuses on the authentic ingredients found within the condiments and transports the viewer to different parts of the globe to tell three stories that evoke colourful sights, sounds and exotic flavours. The ad campaign will run on TV and online in Switzerland. The commercials will also be supported by a poster campaign and in store promotions.
Princess begins in ancient Persia where a young girl sits majestically on a tented throne, flanked by guards and two hungry lions. The locals queue for miles in the baking desert in order to offer her gifts. But it’s the audacity of one mysterious man who offers her a single egg that gets her and her lions’ full attention. Her indignation is soon quelled when her loyal subject magically applies some THOMY saffron infused mustard. The scene then changes to see that our princess is in fact an ordinary young girl, role playing with her grandfather in a makeshift tent. Her ‘lion’ sits next to her in the form of a cat.
