Arnott’s unveils ad for new beer chip brand
After months of internal wrangling over an appropriate product name for its new snack for men, Arnott’s has released a campaign for Roadies, a new variant of the Shapes brand.

The Arnott’s board are believed to have been uncomfortable with the Roadies name because of its association with a six-pack of beer, which was deemed inappropriate for a family company.
The campaign was created by GPY&R Sydney.
Another quote from an agency guy trying to be funny. About as predictable as the storyline in the ad.
These will fail as a product, they are overpriced Shapes, no advertising strategy will change that.
I think the name works actually – considering the target audience…
But that bearded guy seems to be the only face in Australian TVC’s at the moment.
Those guys are crazy. The funny looks like that one from the hangover. This is the best salted snack ad since nik naks.
