Garden sharpens image with new buy

Local pre-packaged cake brand Garden Chiffon has launched a campaign to rejuvenate its 65-year-old image.

The two-month campaign — developed by IPG's Interface Communications — comprises bus shelter panels and bus body ads. The outdoor buy for Garden, the middle pillar of the bus shelter ad, is a first-time creation for media vendor JCDecaux Texon. Ads will be seen on bus shelters and routes in residential and business areas.

Garden's main competitors include cake stores Maxim's and St. Honore, as well as other private label brands and supermarket bakery cakes.
