Metcash's IGA has launched its Christmas campaign, with a focus on the local community.
The supermarkets are often owned and operated by families who live and work in their communities.
The 2021 IGA Christmas campaign builds on this by showing a day in the life of an IGA storeowner.
The campaign, led by 30 second and 15 second TVCs, launches nationally today across all key markets.
Christian Finucane, founder and creative partner at The Core Agency: “There’s a place that goes above and beyond to help you have a cracking Christmas – your local IGA. Our new campaign tells that heart-warming story, and it’s one that locals across Australia can relate to.”
Tracy Wilson, GM marketing Metcash: “IGA retailers across the country are passionate about meeting the needs of the local communities that they serve.
"They always go to great lengths to support the locals, from stocking specialty products, supporting local charities, providing the personalised service that the locals love, and making Christmas preparation easy by having everything they need and at great value.
"IGA retailers will do whatever they can to make Christmas special, so from our network of local family owned businesses to yours, we wish you a Merry Christmas.”
This latest IGA campaign follows the announcement of The Core Agency growing its capacity with the appointment of Clare La Palombara as head of strategy.
