Tesco ‘Takes Us Back’ with Nostalgic Campaign to Mark 100th Anniversary

Tesco is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year with a new advertising campaign, created by BBH, highlighting the supermarket’s history of offering its customers great value throughout the decades and showcasing hundreds of special great values deals. ‘Prices that take you back’ features fun and iconic cultural references from the last decades, such as a ‘70s roller girl and ‘60s Mods on mopeds shopping in a Tesco store. ‘90s legends Wolf from Gladiator and Mr Blobby also feature in the campaign.

The full campaign spans TV, out of home, print, radio, social and digital. The first TV spot in the series launches today, Friday, January 11th, during Coronation Street, and others will roll out throughout the month. The films were shot by the award-winning production company Riff Raff Films and are set to the iconic 1978 hit ‘Remember’, by Earth, Wind and Fire.
