‘Colours by Europe. Tastes of Excellence’ – EU promotion campaign in South Korea, Thailand and Indonesia

Objectives:  

The overall goal of this campaign is to promote EU-agricultural food and beverage products in Asia, more specifically in Thailand, South Korea, and Indonesia.  

The EU wants to raise awareness on the key merits of EU agricultural produce –  safety, quality, authenticity, sustainability. It aims to show audiences how to best enjoy these products and why they should  purchase them, in order to reinforce the EU presence in those markets.  

The campaign targets similar audiences in the three countries: consumers, business, and specialised media and influencers. 

Strategy:

The campaign wants to bring a piece of Europe to audience’s tables, via social media and online activities as well as in-person experiences. The campaign invites the various audiences to introduce EU agricultural produce in their daily lives and to ‘travel’ to Europe though food.  

This campaign promotes EU agricultural produce overall, with a focus for each country on:
