The latest TV advert to promote Scotch Beef will premiere at cinemas across Scotland this week.
The advert is part of Quality Meat Scotland’s (QMS) £500,000 Know Your Beef promotional campaign.
It aims to highlight the credentials, quality and sustainability of Scotch Beef, while setting out the facts behind beef production.
The advert, which will run in cinemas until October and reach an audience of more than 600,000 cinema-goers, will be played before films including Wild Rose, Yesterday, Rocketman and Downton Abbey.
“Although the new advert is already being shown on TV, we are so excited to take it to the big screen and show it to wide audiences across the country,” said QMS marketing manager, Kirsty Fox.
“We wanted our advert to tell a story, championing the experts at the heart of the Scotch Beef industry that work tirelessly every day to produce a high quality and trusted product.
“The narrative we chose really makes the story feel like a performance so it’s fitting to take it to cinema audiences.
“The ad represents the breadth of knowledge and depth of expertise behind the campaign and we are very proud of what we have created.”
The 40-second musically-themed adverts features butchers, farmers, chefs, auctioneers and vets. It also features singers from the Scottish Association of Young Farmers’ Clubs, the Scottish Women’s Institute and the Royal Highland Education Trust.
QMS said the campaign, which also includes billboard, print, social media and digital activity, is expected to reach up to four million adults over March and April this year.
Its main focus it to tell consumers what sets Scotch Beef apart from the rest, while showcasing the industry’s environmental and welfare credentials.
