COLES +  TESCO

IPA Effectiveness Grand Prix
Campaign Brief The Work, AWARD Award, Caples, 
etc.
In 2022, DDB Group Melbourne won Australia’s largest pitch of the year and developed Smith St, a bespoke agency model for Coles supermarkets. We’ve transformed their brand from one famous for bad and inconsistent advertising, into one known for contemporary and iconic campaigns. 

Prior to helping transform Coles, I worked on Tesco at BBH. At the time, it was the least sexy client in the building. Across several years and campaigns, we helped Tesco turn a corner and produce the creative work that set them on a path to become BBH’s best account, both their most effective and their most creative. 




Coles - Great Lengths for Quality

An ongoing platform for the amazing unknown stories that sit behind everything on Coles’ shelves. So far we’ve made over a dozen brand campaigns across three years, contributing towards Coles’ highest NPS scores against its rival Woolworths in decades. 





Coles - Great Value, Hands Down

Motorcycles, human cannonballs, backflips. Coles have never been more excited about great value. 





Tesco  - Prices that take you back

Tesco is BBH's biggest account. I've helped make loads of ads for them, from Christmas commercials to an odd little recruiting campaign for their tech department. Here's my favourite. A year long campaign, Prices That Take You Back shifted 147,000 tins of beans in an hour, 19.8 million grams of Cathedral City Cheese, and three weeks’ worth of fish fingers in a day.

Tesco Tech Recruitment. Challenges greater than any game.

How do you get coders, developers and software engineers looking for jobs at Google to consider a career at Tesco? By showing them ridiculous scale of the challenges they'll face at Tesco. Challenges like distributing 1.5 billion bananas.

What’s with the name?
Once upon a time, my three year old brother arranged a random series of letters together to name a toy train ‘Psembi’. Months later, whilst sitting on the backseat of a station wagon as my hippy mum gave birth to me, my brother pointed to the newborn and said one word. Psembi.  
Who is he?
Psembi is the son of a crocodile farmer from Broome, Western Australia. He was the youngest Creative Director in the history of BBH London and ran Audi, BBH’s foundation account. He’s now the Group CCO at DDB Melbourne. His creative awards include a BAFTA amongst 300 others.
