Fairwood rolls out $2m creative blitz

HONG KONG - Local fast food chain Fairwood has replaced its former ad spokesperson To Man Chak with three budding young Canto-Pop stars Vincy Chan, Sherman Chung and Kathy Yuen in its new TVC, which takes the trio on an expedition to various scenic locations in Tuscany, Florence and Pisa in Italy.

“Summer time is the high season for us to capture our customers,” said Fairwood marketing director Perry Chung. “We want to project a fresher new image by using these young and vibrant artists.”

The chain enlisted LA-based director Jim Kimura to shoot the campaign, which comes with a HK$20 million (US$2.5 million) budget. TV and print work has rolled out, developed by WE Marketing.

Fairwood has also revamped menus and restaurants across China and Hong Kong, conceptualised by interior designer Steve Leung.
