Beef at Your Best, a campaign from the Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) and created by The Monkeys, part of Accenture Song, is a mockumentary-style investigation into professional sport.
The campaign is set inside the Brisbane Broncos high performance centre and showcases how eating the right nutrition is important to perform at your best on and off the field.
The full suite of content includes a TVC featuring a loveable protagonist, in a series of humorous behind the scenes scenarios.
The TVC, directed by Al Morrow from Rabbit, is a mockumentary style interview with a highly respected "member" of the Brisbane Broncos team, General Assistant Lance Lawson (known as the "general"), showcasing how Beef’s nutritional benefits help both himself and the team perform at their best.
The ad highlights just how productive you can be when beef is part of your diet, and how it enables you to kick things up a gear ensuring high performance.
This is demonstrated by the "general" who is a behind the scenes dynamo doing everything to support the Broncos team be at their best; from setting up training drills and ensuring everyone on the team is having a tasty beef lunch, to lugging around heavy equipment in the gym and keeping all equipment in top working order.
His infectious attitude is supported by beef which is packed with Protein, Iron and B12 to ensure his muscle strength, physical energy and mind are all at the top of their game.
Nathan Low, General Manager of Marketing and Insights at MLA, says: “Beef provides us with so many of the necessary vitamins and minerals essential to keep our bodies healthy in one simple package, and we wanted this campaign to show how Lance and his friends at the Broncos really are better on Beef and the role nutrition plays in performing at your best
regardless of whether you’re an elite athlete or just helping out behind the scenes”.
The Creative Director at The Monkeys, Scott Dettrick, says: "Nutrition and performance go hand in hand, but we can’t all be professional athletes. We can however all benefit from what Beef has to offer. In this campaign, we show through the Broncos extended team that Beef can help anyone achieve their greatness, whatever that may be."
