Jamie Oliver appears in online Woolworths ad alongside son to promote The Odd Bunch range
Jamie Oliver is back for Woolworths, this time appearing alongside his four-year-old son Buddy to promote the supermarket’s new The Odd Bunch range which will see imperfect vegetables sold in-store.
The range was introduced in stores in December last year. Harris Farm Markets launched a similar range and campaign called ‘Imperfect Picks’ in September last year.
The online commercial, created by production company Fat Lemon and creative agency Leo Burnett Sydney, sees Oliver and his son together in the kitchen, playing around with the unusual shaped vegetables that make up The Odd Bunch range.

I don’t understand these “overseas” celebrity endorsements. I like Jamie Oliver but he lives in London and cannot shop at Woolworths Australia. He has probably never even been in a Woolworths.
At least Curtis Stone has probably shopped in Coles at some stage in his life.
I know, I know – its an advertisement and I have to suspend my beliefs. But I don’t want to.
To sell their Odd Bunch range they should have used the cast of Fraggle Rock. Although they are puppets and have never shopped at Woolies either.
what a great idea, now where have I heard that before…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U23XgEkZf0
@Nick. There are loads of Pome’s working in ad agencies; innit! They probably think ‘global identity’, so who cares. Perhaps?
The original concept came from Intermarche in France. ‘Inglorious fruit and veggies’.

Great that the Aussies are getting on board with it though.
Parlais vous francais… I stand corrected 😉
Woolworths practices are questionable with farmers and how they blackmail them. Jamie’s already been in the firing line for supporting woolies while the farmers get a raw deal.
