    How McCain's patient commitment to brand-building paid off

    In 2014, oven chip brand McCain was struggling. Cash-strapped shoppers were switching to cheaper brands and own label. Promotions were delivering short-term volume, but depressed revenue and margins. To reduce price elasticity, McCain committed to a sustained investment in brand advertising. But success took time and patience. Winner of the prestigious 2024 IPA Effectiveness Award Grand Prix for long-term growth, the nine year journey reduced price elasticity by 47%, raised base sales by 44% and delivered ÂŁ26 million of net profit. We talk with Mark Hodge of McCain Foods and Roisin Mulroney of adam&eveDDB. Thanks to Tracksuit and the Master of Advertising Effectiveness Program (MAE) for sponsoring this effectiveness episode.

    How Cheetos flipped a negative feature into a positive vibe

    Cheetos had marketed to families for decades. But growth and household penetration declined over time. Their shift from “Families & Fun” to "Rejuveniles" allowed the brand to turn what was perceived by parents as a product negative (messy Cheetos-covered fingertips on kids) into a product feature embraced by teens and young adults. For this 2024 Effie-winning campaign, we're joined by Flavia Simoes of Cheetos and Jacob Sperla of Goodby Silverstein & Partners.  Thanks to Effie Worldwide and the Master of Advertising Effectiveness (MAE) program for their commitment to effective work and to our show.
