Featured Work
Description: Ads in food processing publications increased awareness of SDIX's RapidChek brand of food safety tests for E coli 0157, Listeria, Salmonella and Salmonella Enteritidis, and introduced the new 24-hour RapidChek Listeria F.A.S.T. test. Visual shows an example of the ultimate beneficiary of these tests—the consumer.
Creative/account team: Tony Ross, Creative Director; Peter Gordon, Senior Account Supervisor
Media team: Client-placed media—SDIX
Why this ad is special: SDIX offers food processors and producers a rapid way to detect pathogens that will affect their customers—and their bottom line. The ad breaks through the clutter of the typical food processing advertising, while using low-key humor to underscore the real beneficiaries of SDIX's rapid test.
