Weetabix honors Raye’s streaming success with a creative Croydon billboard campaign, blending music, culture, and smart outdoor advertising strategy.
From Streaming Success to Street-Level Celebration
This week, British singer-songwriter Raye celebrated reaching a billion streams of her hit single “Escapism” by eating Weetabix from her Spotify commemorative plaque and captioning the moment: “God bless TikTok.” The viral moment sparked joy across social media—and inspired a bold response from Weetabix.
Billboard Advertising Brings the Tribute to Life
Now that Raye has “had hers,” Weetabix is returning the love with a large-format billboard campaign in Croydon, the artist’s hometown. Created by agency BBH, the series of posters features four vinyl records—three traditional black LPs and one golden disc labeled “Croydon’s Very Own.” The message is clear, signed off with the iconic line: “Have you had yours?” It’s a clever example of billboard advertising that taps into cultural relevance and emotional connection.
Celebrating Identity with Outdoor Storytelling
Lorraine Rothwell, Head of Brand and Marketing at Weetabix, said: “She’s a cultural icon, and this playful tribute is our way of saying – she’s clearly had hers!” The campaign proves how OOH (Out-of-Home) media can become personal and celebratory. By spotlighting local pride and real-time moments, it elevates the brand while keeping billboard advertising both authentic and impactful.
Smart Use of Billboard Advertising Rates
Large-format posters like these are more than just decoration—they're strategic investments. With carefully chosen locations and bold visuals, Weetabix turned a lighthearted social moment into a strong brand statement. This is the power of well-planned billboard advertising prices: maximum cultural impact with measurable results.
