Red Rooster has reimagined the Rippa Roll with the Bacon & Cheese Rippa in a campaign via Leos Australia.
The campaign is supported through outdoor, radio, digital, social and experiential channels.
“The Rippa’s been part of Aussie life for decades fuelling road trips, Saturday sport and late-night cravings,” said Red Rooster’s CEO, Sam Bragg.
“Reimagining Bacon & Cheese Rippa is our way of giving it the hero moment it deserves; and tying the relaunch into Matty Johns show is product placement at its best, directly reaching our core fan base."
The media placement includes the Reds’ Fox Sports sponsorship, with a Thursday Night Grand Final edition of the Matty Johns Show where the audience, crew and lead talent will be fed Rippas.
“The relaunch builds on the momentum of the Rippa franchise, a menu mainstay, while highlighting Red’s ability to generate impact without reliance on traditional big-budget TVCs," Bragg said.
“For years our customers have demanded a Rippa comeback, and the product has been the subject of countless social media debates and requests, its return underscores the enduring power of heritage menu items to spark cultural conversation and drive traffic."
Bragg said that while Red Rooster continues to develop new products, the Rippa has remained a consistent performer on its core menu.
"By reviving a much-loved retro classic and modernising it with fresh creative and cultural cues, Reds aims to deliver new “food news” while reminding customers that sometimes, the original is still the best.
“With our distinctive creative approach, we continue to prove that innovation doesn’t always mean new, it can also mean bringing back the best."
