Flora to bring 'free-from' products mainstream

Today I read an article about Flora bringing a new campaign out in February. 

This campaign is to focus on healthier living and to create a new 'free-from' product. 

The campaign is called 'Powered by Plants' and this is to celebrate what Flora has already achieved with the health credentials they already offer, this is highlighted by the ingredients used such as sunflower oil. - The promotion will be advertised outdoor, digitally and socially.

James Brennan told Marketing Week Magazine: "We plan to bring real life experiences to kids by telling them where their food comes from, while also educating  mums on the benefits of a plant based diet. There's an education and entertainment aspect to the campaign, so we want to bring those to families." he also mentioned that they will be doing things different by getting people excited and out there.

The 'free-from' section of Flora is that they are creating a new 'dairy-free' product, to gain more  demand for the 'free-from' sector. 

I personally know what it feels like to have an intolerance to something. (I'm actually wheat intolerance). Before I found this out I actually thought I was slightly lactose intolerant therefore I had to cut a lot of things out of my daily diet. This was so difficult as there an not many 'free-from' products out there and when you do come across them they are so expensive (with me being a university student, living away from home, it's a nightmare trying to find affordable 'free-from' products). I like the idea that Flora are going to do and I hope this creates more of a demand for 'free-from' products and that people are more aware of these products.





Flora's new TV advertisement will be launching on February 15th.

Free Advertising... (Nike)



NIKE 
Just Do It. 

Nike was founded over 50 years ago and has developed to become is a huge corporation, with a net worth of over 2 billion. 
I personally like this brand as they create comfortable and long lasting sports wear. I will wear something Nike everyday, due to being a loyal consumer however this leads on to...
Am I just a walking advertisement for Nike?

The answer is: yes, yes I am. I advertise Nike wherever I go and I do not get anything from it. People all over the globe are helping companies by walking around with all these branded products, without getting anything back from the company. 

Social Media is becoming more popular. I usually express an interest on Instagram, a social network platform where you can post images. 
I have noticed on my profile page that I have actually 'helped' with free advertising for Nike. There are three images below that I found on my profile, with the Nike logo incorporated into the photograph. 




As well as these three I then decided to scroll through some of my friends profiles who I know are interested in this brand. These images are just advertising Nike. These pictures were taken due to the fact these people had possibly recently brought these trainers, which sends a message to their followers, look at what the trend is and look what Nike now have available.
