Devised by agency of record, <\/span><b>VCCP London<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the new campaign advocates that taking vitamins should be easily accessible, fun and effective for all. This is the first piece of work for VCCP London since it acquired the Bassetts Vitamins business in October last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bassetts Vitamins recently launched a new range of vitamins set to both shake up, and bring simplicity to the vitamin category, by offering tailored and comprehensive forumations for all the family in an easy-to-take chewy format. The new adult range marks the first new additions since Bassetts Vitamins launched their first adult product in 2015, and includes: Pregnancy, Woman, Man, Woman 50+, and Man 50+. The new platform, which launches across the UK is designed to shift the misconception that Bassetts Vitamins is a brand solely for kids, and instead heroes the complete range for both adults and children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The new brand platform aims to challenge the vitamin category, and launches with the strapline \u2018<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vitamins for people that don\u2019t do vitamins.\u2019 <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0The campaign creative injects realness into the category in a bid to connect with the everyday customer, and banish outdated stereotypes and unrealistic portrayals of the healthcare product category. By intentionally avoiding the use of models and complicated medical jargon, the new brand platform creative is playful and modern aiming to reach a broad cross section of UK adults who are both purchasing for themselves, and their household.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The campaign will run across OOH, DOOH, YouTube and social (Instagram and Facebook), and includes bold, honest and down-to-earth messaging which speaks to \u2018real\u2019 people who aren\u2019t obsessed with vitamins. The campaign creative embodies the iconic colourful feel Bassetts Vitamins has always had, but instead looks to position itself in a tongue-in-cheek, \u2018adult\u2019 manner. The typography has been developed by<\/span><b> Rude Studios,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and the work is a step change from stereotypical healthcare positioning often associated with vitamin and healthcare marketing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the heart of the campaign are different variations of the hero strapline <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2018Vitamins for people who don\u2019t do vitamins\u2019 <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and the language aims to speak to the everyday person who aspires to keep fit and healthy, whilst leading normal, busy lives. Presented on bold, colourful backgrounds, all creative iterations of the new campaign feature a playful Bassetts Vitamins iconic red gummy which replaces the letter \u2018O\u2019 across all campaign messaging.<\/span><\/p>        \r\n                \r\n  \t\t\t      <\/div>\r\n      \r\n      <div class=\"col-md-6\">\r\n    \t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The red vitamin can be seen to look as though it\u2019s been pressed like a big red button, and all three, colourful 6\u201d videos will launch across YouTube, featuring bold language set against colourful, contrasting backgrounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The digital first campaign creative features hero shots of the new Bassetts Vitamins products, and similar campaign creative will roll out across social channels and DOOH, again featuring the red Bassetts Vitamin as the focal point and playful campaign language such as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2018but all in a little squidgy gummy.\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Skye Walter, Marketing Manager, Ernest Jackson &amp; Co Limited <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">said: \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We\u2019re passionate about creating a product range that caters to entire households, not just kids.\u00a0 I\u2019m delighted about our new Bassetts Vitamins campaign as it works hard to cancel the complexities of the vitamin category, and take the confusion out of knowing which vitamins to buy. VCCP London nailed the brief, and our latest campaign is fun, punchy and relatable &#8211; even for those people who don\u2019t \u2018do\u2019 vitamins!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Caroline Rawlings, Creative Director at VCCP London<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> added: \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oh, this project has been such a joy. A campaign for vitamins that doesn&#8217;t give you that sinking feeling of guilt, as if you should be doing better at life like that shiny person on the posters. The team has created a campaign that feels completely Bassetts. Colourful, honest, hardworking, doesn\u2019t take itself too seriously, and completely at odds with the rest of the category in the best way possible. Here\u2019s to the people who aren\u2019t really vitamin taking people finding the vitamins for them. All credit to the team here, over at Bassetts and our brilliant designers. It\u2019s brave work that I\u2019m jolly proud of.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bassetts Vitamins latest brand campaign \u2018<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vitamins for people that don\u2019t do vitamins\u2019<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0 will run from today in the UK for 6 weeks and will roll out across OOH, DOOH, YouTube and social (IG &amp; FB).

It included 11 artists such as Anthony Burrill, Supermundane, and Rose Blake. There was also the 'I Have the Power' collaboration at the end of 2020, with work by Morgan Myerscough and 9 other artists. Every artist collaboration has aligned with the values of the British Red Cross and helped fuel the kindness movement, raise critical funds to help those most in need and drive awareness of the charity's humanitarian impact.\\u003c\\\/span\\u003e\\u003c\\\/p\\u003e\\n\\u003cp\\u003e\\u003cspan style=\\u0022font-weight: 400\\u0022\\u003eSpeaking about the project Yinka said: \\u003cem\\u003e\\u201cThe opportunity to design something for the British Red Cross was an absolute honour. The mural is trying to celebrate community, collaboration and just being kind to others. My work has always been about community and about inclusivity. In art and design, making art spaces inclusive is the gateway to making people belong. The British Red Cross makes people feel like they belong, they have a voice that is listened to and heard. It was an absolute honour to be approached by the charity to and to be a part of their amazing legacy on communities.\\u201d\\u003c\\\/em\\u003e\\u003c\\\/span\\u003e\\u003c\\\/p\\u003e\\n\\u003cp\\u003e\\u003cspan style=\\u0022font-weight: 400\\u0022\\u003eYinka said that this year made him realise the importance of meaningful connections: \\u003cem\\u003e\\u201cLondon is a lonely city at the best of times so it\\u2019s really important to get to know your communities.
