Orville Redenbacher Comes Back To Life--Digitally

  • Adweek, Thursday, January 11, 2007 11:30 AM
ConAgra is rolling out a new campaign for Orville Redenbacher gourmet popcorn that features a digital re-creation of the brand's founder more than 10 years after he died. The effort, from Crispin Porter + Bogusky, will premiere on the Golden Globe Awards broadcast next week.

For the last year or so, the company has periodically been running a classic commercial from 1976 that has Redenbacher challenging the audience to compare his product with others, promising they will "taste the difference or my name isn't Orville Redenbacher."

The only addition the agency made to that 30-year-old spot was the final product shot of microwave popcorn and the brand's Web address. ConAgra spent about $20 million behind the brand through November, according to Nielsen Monitor-Plus.
