Sunbeam brings trash talk to the kitchen

AUSTRALIA - Bold putdowns and at least one nasty word fly as cooking becomes a blood sport in a nonetheless light-hearted campaign for Sunbeam's line of small appliances.

Sunbeam brings trash talk to the kitchen

Client: Sunbeam

Agency: The Works

Market: Australia

Campaign scope: Outdoor, in­‐store, website and social media. 

Press release quote: Kevin Macmillan, founder and creative partner, The Works: "I love the honesty of exploring the truth behind why people are presenting amazing dishes. Is it because they want to nurture their family and friends or is it because they are showing off?”

Comments: A lot of brands and agencies talk about 'cut through'. Well, here's a prominent manufacturer that has gone ahead and prominently used "The b*itch bought a Sunbeam" as a callout on its website and outdoor ads. We also liked the entertaining backstories for the pairs of rivals (see below).
