Case Study

Discover how the World Avocado Organisation used a fleet of fully wrapped buses to promote the health benefits of avocados in London, reaching millions with a memorable campaign.

Introduction: Bringing Avocados to the Streets of London

The World Avocado Organisation (WAO) is on a mission to share the health benefits of avocados, and what better way to do that than by bringing the “Fruit of Life” to the busy streets of London? London Bus Advertising partnered with WAO for an eye-catching, high-impact campaign that put the bright green branding of avocados front and centre across the capital. With a fleet of fully wrapped double-decker buses, the campaign spread awareness of the benefits of avocados and encouraged people to pick up a pack from nearby Tesco stores.

Transforming London’s Iconic Red Buses

To truly capture the attention of Londoners, the World Avocado Organisation opted for a full livery bus advertising campaign. A fleet of five double-decker buses was completely transformed with vibrant green designs, turning these buses into large-scale moving advertisements. The buses featured the WAO’s branding and a call to action, inviting people to explore the health benefits of avocados and follow WAO’s social media accounts on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

This campaign took full advantage of the bus advertising format, ensuring that the messaging was visible from every angle. The striking green colours and simple yet effective design made these buses stand out, leaving a lasting impression on all who saw them.

Reaching Millions Across London

London is a city known for its vibrant food scene, making it the perfect place for the World Avocado Organisation to target food enthusiasts and health-conscious individuals. The bus routes were strategically chosen to ensure that the campaign reached the right audience. With a fleet of five buses travelling across the city, millions of commuters, residents, and tourists saw the ads, making it a highly effective way to generate awareness and spark conversations about avocados.

The buses were seen by approximately 8.6 million people throughout the campaign, offering WAO the chance to engage with a diverse audience. The ability to target busy urban areas with high foot traffic, as well as commuters in cars, made the buses an ideal medium to spread the message of healthy eating.

With 62% of ABC1 adults in London recalling bus advertising within a week, the campaign had the potential to make a significant impact.

In addition to the visibility, the buses acted as moving billboards, capturing the attention of pedestrians, commuters, and tourists alike. The bright green avocado branding ensured that the buses stood out, whether they were travelling through busy streets or parked at key locations around the city.
