This Walkers Baked commercial is being launched as part of a multi-million pound campaign in the UK to encourage consumers to try out the snacks on their next visit to the shop. The commercial entitled 'The Best Foods in Life are Baked' focuses on at-home cooking with the viewer looking outwards from inside an oven past a recipe being freshly prepared. The ad then goes on to correlate the way that home-baked foods always taste best to how the brand's Baked range tastes.
Walkers Senior Marketing Manager Rachael Smith spoke on the Walkers Baked commercial saying, "We know that enjoyment is the number one driver of choice during snacking occasions. Our new taste-led campaign taps into this demand, reframing Walkers Baked in consumers’ minds from just being a snack with less fat, to a snack that is delicious and tasty."
