Weis has launched a new campaign featuring a dance party where the tunes are played solely on musical fruit.
What is a musical fruit you may ask? It's a fruit which has an aux chord plugged into it – so the fruit can play a unique sound.
Or as Weis puts it – this spot aims to show that its products are made from whole fruits.
“Our ice cream is authentically made, so it was really important to us that our campaign was as well. It’s a real track, played on real fruit at a real party. And it was a great party.” Julie Weis, joint managing director at Weis Frozen Foods says.
The performances are made possible by combining music mixing software and nano computers that
can turn any conductive object – like fruit – into a musical keyboard.
Marianne Harvey, creative director at Clemenger, says that a musical idea was a simple way to convey a summer vibe.
“Music was a way to own the season. But Juicy Cuts is more than just a track played at a party with some tricky tech – it’s anchored in a product truth that separates Weis from the rest of the freezer.”
Weis Juicy Cuts will run across a range of social and outdoor channels, alongside live radio and festival performances throughout summer.
