Quick chat with Geiroeneesa Bailey, Liquorice
Liquorice won 7 Assegais in 2015, including the Black Spear. What was your Battle of the Spreads entry about?
Through extensive research, one insight stood out above the rest: the fierce rivalry between the consumers of two iconic South African spreads – Marmite and Bovril. Using this insight and the positioning of Marmite as a ‘ love it or hate it’ brand, we decided to put the two rivals up against each other on Twitter and let the public decide which is the better spread.
