Devondale is putting some horsepower behind its latest product launch. Literally. Mr. Vanderhoof is half man, half horse. But not in the classical centaur way.
Vanderhoof is also a teacher, who specialises in both maths and geography. That's a good mix, reckon the kids, and that blend of fruity, dairy goodness is the, ahem, mane thrust of the spot.
The campaign, created by DDB Melbourne, is “pushing the boundaries a little more. Making sure that we spice it up and keep it fresh," according to DDB Melbourne executive creative director, Darren Spiller.
