AEB launches $10 million campaign

The American Egg Board has launched a new promotion with the unusual site of humans, rather than chicks breaking out of egg shells. The campaign, created by AEB’s long-time agency in New York, Grey Advertising is, naturally enough, playing up the health benefits of eating eggs.

According to the Nov. 5 New York Times, the new campaign “represents the first significant rethinking of the board’s marketing efforts for several years. For one thing, the media choices for the ads are being expanded, adding considerable amounts of online advertising on Web sites like foodtv.com, weightwatchers.com, and yahoo.com.” In addition, the article says,  AEB is

bringing out a consumer focused Web site that offers computer users video clips, recipes, games, a blog, and information about health and nutrition.  The address of the new site, the article says is borrowed from the familiar theme of the  “The Incredible Edible Egg.”

The article continues that the campaign, with a budget estimated at more than $10 million, is symbolic of the changes sweeping through the consumer market as the Internet becomes an increasingly common and important source of information, entertainment and advertising.
