They vowed to deliver ground-breaking success with their Twinings Afternoon Tea campaign. “AC came up with the concept and core strategy and worked closely with us to lead agency teams to shape and implement the broader Twinings Australian Afternoon Tea Challenge campaign – there is no doubt this has been an incomparable success. Both sales and consumer feedback on the new blend have already been very impressive. “Undoubtedly without their amazing work, we wouldn’t have what we believe is by far, the most interactive, engaging and exciting campaign in tea, and for the Twinings brand” Gavin Vandeligt, Marketing Director of Twinings Australia said.
