John West's much loved mascot, the Kodiak bear, is its new celebrity chef, whipping up meals using its new fiery range.
The Lunchtime Social Feed, created by Cummins&Partners, sees Chef Bear prepare four recipes using John West tuna, as best as a bear can.
Cummins&Partners Melbourne co ECD Ben Couzens says: “The idea is very simple. People like watching cooking shows and people like wild animals. We combined the two with some pretty entertaining results.
" And with nearly 2 million eyeballs on these films in just one week, it has struck a chord. Oh and no animals were harmed when filming…. just a couple of avocados."
The Lunchtime Social Feed runs across Facebook, YouTube, digital and johnwest.com.au.
Simplot Australia brand manager Ryan Willett says: "This is a very competitive category and with social feeds dominated by cooking videos, using our biggest brand asset to create some cut through made a lot of sense."
