A year ago Walkers asked crisp fans all over the UK to suggest new flavours. And they did. The first part of the campaign recieved 2.3 million hits and over 1 million suggestions . We now needed to get the public to decide which of the six finalists should stay on the shelf forever.

To help them decide we created a campaign that includes seven TV ads, a campaign website, lots of press and online advertising along with on-pack and POS promotions. First up is the campaign film, then come the ads and website...

















Over the 12 months of the campaign there were hundreds of pieces of publicity - we even had paparazzi showing up to the filming of the ads. However, my favourite pieces are these:

First up, Charlie Broooker on The Guardian and via his Twitter feed.
