Leading bagel brand New York Bakery has launched its biggest marketing campaign since 2020.
The new light-hearted TV and social creative showcases how a bite of its authentic New York-style bagels can “whisk you away to the Big Apple”.
The campaign, which will appear on TV screens nationwide, across BVOD, social media and digital platforms and is supported by consumer PR, will run until September.
Titled ‘Bakes You There’, it dramatises the escapist power of food by transporting everyday British people into spontaneous New York fantasies – but always bringing them back to moments that matter.
Claire Kong, Marketing Director at New York Bakery, said: “We know that great food has the power to transport us. With ‘Bakes You There,’ we’re showing how even a simple moment, wherever or whenever it happens, can spark a little escapism. This campaign captures that idea with warmth, bringing the bold spirit of New York to everyday life in the UK, and shoppers are sure to respond when they see the New York Bakery range in store this summer, alongside our activation.”
New York Bakery is also the new sponsor of Channel 4 Breakfast, placing the brand alongside popular US programming.
To support the campaign, New York Bakery has refreshed its packaging to emphasise its NYC identity. This includes an updated logo accentuating bakery, a distinct drop shadow descriptor inspired by NYC signage and amplified usage of Lady Liberty, which is being rolled out across all packs.
Kong added: “New York Bakery has ambitious and exciting plans with its highest ever UK media presence in the last five years. In line with this, we have given the range a clear Masterbrand identity running from media and social through to packs and in-store activity.”
