Developing a distinctive asset takes a lot of time, consistency, investment and money. You would be throwing away the effect you achieved over the past decades if your distinctive asset has been around that long, which is true for Bisto. If you’re trying to create a new distinctive asset you’re throwing away all that investment and the halo effect of that investment,” says Erceyes.

The Premier Foods CMO is convinced of the need to keep investing in brands even when you’re the market leader, because otherwise you risk losing relevance in the mid to long term. If you’re a very strict vegan who wishes to avoid all potential cross-contamination, then you should be aware that there is possible cross-contamination with milk products during the manufacture of vegetarian Bisto gravy. This is why Bisto cannot be labelled as vegan, even though many vegans would deem it safe to eat. Erceyes believes these assets are timeless, with the ability to “amplify” effectiveness by tapping into existing memory structures in consumers’ minds. Finding the best mix Start by frying off your onion, carrot and celery, after around 10 minutes add in the other ingredients and a cup of boiling water then simmer for 20 minutes until the veggie becomes softened.

Bisto gravy contains palm oil. Some vegans choose to avoid palm oil because unsustainable palm oil production causes deforestation. However, palm oil is in itself vegan and when it’s sustainably sourced it doesn’t have the same negative impact on the environment. The campaign includes a partnership with Global Radio and represents Bisto’s biggest ever in-store Christmas activation, as well as a major TV push. This time the togetherness theme shifts to shine a light on friendship and the role a Sunday roast plays in uniting a pair of friends from childhood to motherhood, concluding with the pals introducing their own daughters to the tradition of sharing mealtimes. When it comes to measuring effectiveness, the Premier Foods CMO describes himself as simultaneously taking a data-led approach, while also being aware of the limitations of data.
