Putting the ‘Irishness’ in breakfast rolls with Applegreen

Relaunching Applegreen’s renowned breakfast roll through a consumer-focused campaign, aiming to showcase the delectable deli treat.

Applegreen is a well-established convenience store and forecourt retail chain. We re-launched their famous breakfast roll in Ireland, making the decision to use only 100% Irish products, sourced from Irish suppliers. To help profile the launch we developed a fun and consumer-focused campaign to highlight this delicious delicacy.

In support of the campaign, we assisted the client in creating a comprehensive omnibus survey comprising 10 questions. This national survey of 1,000 people gathered insights about the things that make us quintessentially Irish. To enhance the chances of securing coverage, we went the extra mile by sending freshly prepared breakfast rolls directly to newsrooms throughout Dublin on the day of the press release distribution.

Furthermore, we curated a targeted list of influencers who would receive a special gift of the 100% Irish roll, including The 2 Johnnies. Managing the entire process, we ensured the timely delivery of the product to the influencers’ homes, generating positive exposure and amplify the campaign’s impact.
