Dig launches brand campaign for Australian Pork with Ramón Jamón

Australian Pork Limited has launched its latest brand campaign via Dig, introducing a new character, Ramón Jamón.

The campaign breathes life into the long-standing 'Get Some Pork on Your Fork' platform. Dig was tasked with increasing awareness and saliency of pork as an everyday protein option.

The campaign centres on Spaniard Ramón Jamón addressing common barriers to pork by asking, "Por qué?", which translates into English as, "Why?"

Anna Paine and Owen Bryson, Dig's creative directors, said: “Pork provides a tasty twist to the everyday, which is exactly what Ramón Jamón delivers. It's been a pleasure bringing this campaign to life with the APL teams. We are confident it will deliver results for Australian Pork, and perhaps also boost sales of pink suits."

Slingshot Media led the media for the campaign, which has launched nationally across TV, radio, OOH, press, print, digital, social, retail, and PR activity.

"Dig have taken our already iconic ‘Get some pork on your fork’ marketing campaign, and built on it a bold new character, here to inspire Aussie families to discover the versatility of Australian-grown pork. The strength of the campaign’s new direction shone through since we first saw it and we’re very proud to be launching across the country today," Australian Pork's CEO, Margo Andrae, said.
