Devondale dramatises the dangers of hard butter

Following in the footsteps of the brand's earlier 'Soy After Taste Face' campaign for its Fast Start product (see below), 'Stepdad Steve' dramatises the product benefits of Devondale Dairy Soft by showing an uncomfortable misunderstanding.

In this case, a piece of toast that doesn't survive the application of regular butter is interpreted as an act of passive aggression, leading to awkward revelations.

The campaign, through DDB Melbourne, began Sunday and will be supported by "strategically positioned path-to-purchase" elements as well as digital executions. It is the first of six product campaigns Devondale will be rolling out over the next few months via the agency.
