Kevin the Carrot

See how Aldi used Out of Home advertising to build anticipation for its Kevin the Carrot Christmas campaign, delivering a high-impact roadblock across the UK.

Campaign

To launch its Christmas campaign, Aldi used a high impact programmatic DOOH roadblock to tease a major brand moment, the proposal of Kevin the Carrot to Katie. The campaign took over multiple digital formats nationwide during the busy evening commute, ensuring maximum visibility at a key time of day.

Strategy

By synchronising activity across Adshel Live, Billboard Live and Storm screens between 5pm and 6pm, Aldi created a coordinated national takeover. This approach allowed the brand to dominate high streets and capture audience attention with a bold, breaking news style creative.

Results

Running alongside TV, radio and digital audio, the campaign formed part of a wider cross channel strategy, maximising reach and reinforcing the message across multiple touchpoints. This integrated approach highlights how DOOH can play a central role in amplifying key brand moments at scale.
