That voice coming from the meat aisle? It's not your conscience, it's Don and he's here to help.
Not just with your smallgoods decisions either. With life, love and confidence building. Probably with running the country too if you asked him.
It's part of a new campaign by DDB Melbourne for purveyor of cold cuts (and now life decisions) Don Smallgoods, using Don's distinctive voice appearing in the minds of shoppers and helping them make the right choices. And Don always knows the right choices, even if he's a little cut-throat about them.
DDB Melbourne chief creative officer Darren Spiller said: “The iconic Don character has been loved by all Australians for generations. We wanted to pay tribute to this heritage, but at the same time take it somewhere new.”
“People are bombarded with choice when shopping for smallgoods. Thankfully, the Don’s authentic voice of reason is always there to help guide them through their deli dilemma."
The commercials were directed by Benji Weinstein of Exit Films.
The TVC will also run in cinema and be supported by national point of sale.
