Whittaker’s takes out June Kantar Ad Impact Award

Whittaker who has travelled from 1896 to continue his pursuit to make things better. The storyline uses humour and key brand cues to successfully introduce a new era of Whittaker’s advertising. The key strengths of the ad were its:

1. Branding
2. Impact
3. Brand Love
