It was actually sort of bananas … when our commission for a Chiquita sustainability campaign headed by “Sustainability is bananas” turned into more: In addition to creating a back-to-school campaign we were also presented with the opportunity to invite customers all over Germany to win something at the POS of Edeka supermarkets.
“bike dich banane“ (“bike yourself bananas“): A whole line of above-the-line collaterals demonstrated that Chiquita is not always taking itself seriously—in contrast to its customers who seized the chance to garner a bike in the much-coveted Chiquita brand look. The number of participants in the POS sweepstakes clearly indicated: "the campaign’s working", much to the alleviation of those involved. Because, after all, you can only tell if offhand ambiguity works, when you try it in the field.
