Publicis.Poke launches Morrison campaign ‘It’s good to grow'

The retailer looks to help kids eat healthier in tongue-in-cheek food campaign

By Creative Salon

Morrisons latest campaign, 'It's Good to Grow', highlights the work the supermarket chain does in helping kids eat healthier in schools.

In the spot, a child is seen explaining the 'It's Good to Grow' initiative, which allows schools to claim free gardening equipment to entertain and teach kids with growing.

The idea behind the ad and the corresponding initiative is grounded in the belief that, the more a child knows about healthier food, the more likely they are to appreciate and consume it.

The campaign is the second iteration in Morrisons' ‘Make Good Things Happen’ brand platform, which is based on the concept of appreciating what it is we eat.

Dave Monk, executive creative director of Publicis.Poke, said: “The second outing of Morrisons’ new brand platform comes in the form of the brilliant Good To Grow Initiative. Encouraging every schoolkid to get elbows deep in understanding how the food they eat is grown and made. The activity shows how Morrisons are slipping on their green and yellow wellies and walking the walk to Make Good Things Happen for everyone.”
