The Weetabix 'Have You Had Yours?' campaign is being run by the brand in the UK as a cheeky series of out-of-home (OOH) posters and more that are inspired by text message conversations.
The cheeky campaign puts a variety of text messages that require lengthy, in-depth responses and that call for the recipient to fuel up with Weetabix before doing so. The camping is running now through May 4, 2025 with 150 posters across an array of London Underground stations as well as digital versions that will be showcased during commuter hours at specific locations.
Head of Brand Lorraine Rothwell spoke on the Weetabix 'Have You Had Yours?' campaign saying, "We love that this campaign leans in to our much-loved ‘Have You Had Yours?’ ethos. It’s very relatable, and a good reminder that it’s important to have your breakfast! We hope commuters smile as they see our cheeky adverts, and if they haven’t already had their breakfast to make sure they get something before they start their day. A bowl of Weetabix is made from 100% wholegrain wheat and is enriched with vitamins and iron, making it a great option to start your day with. We really do believe the Weetabix advantage equips you for your day ahead, whatever life throws at you!”
