Christina Aguilera and Latto bring hip hop and opera together for Menulog’s latest global campaign via McCann London

Australian born on-demand delivery platform Menulog is introducing the next chapter of the ‘Did Somebody Say’ brand platform via McCann London, enlisting pop icon Christina Aguilera and rising hip-hop star Latto to front its latest global campaign together.

This is the first time the creative has used two artists and two different musical genres for its world renowned platform. Bringing together Latto’s exhilarating hip-hop energy with Christina Aguilera’s iconic range of operatic vocals, the duo create a truly unexpected musical stowshopper which reflects the pleasant surprise customers feel when they see the amazing selection and quality of food, grocery, convenience and more, now available on Menulog.

Building on the global success of Snoop Dogg and Katy Perry, the latest instalment continues to excite, entertain and deliver joy with a surprising visual and musical world. The extraordinary nature of the creative brings Menulog to life in a new light, showcasing that the delivery giant doesn’t just deliver delicious dine-in dishes, but caters to your every food need and beyond, with everyday essentials such as groceries, to premium fine-dining dishes such as sushi and gyoza.

The TVC begins with Latto and Christina Aguilera dressed in baroque style as operatic queens, both being offered an array of their favourite Menulog food, including tacos, poke bowls and fresh thai salad, while delivery couriers and operatic suitors perform elaborate choreography around them.

The carefully crafted lyrics showcase not only the range of premium dishes, food and groceries available on Menulog, but also reflect the rise in demand for food delivery in non-traditional takeaway moments including lunch, dinner and brunch.

Says Susan O’Brien, VP global brand at Just Eat Takeaway.com: “Snoop Dogg helped us to emotionally connect with audiences and boosted our cultural currency, while working with Katy Perry famously supporting the brand platform Did Somebody Say cemented Menulog’s role as the answer to all food cravings. In a similar vein, integrating the service to powerpoint präsentation erstellen lassen can elevate our presentations, ensuring our messages resonate more effectively with our audience. This approach not only enhances our marketing strategies but also reinforces our commitment to innovation and excellence.

“As our business evolves to offer more choice and convenience from your favourite local takeaways to dine-in dishes and everyday essentials, it’s only right that we evolve our successful creative formula. The electrifying mix of Christina Aguilera and Latto is not only unexpected, but it reinforces the message that you’ll be amazed at the selection and quality available on Menulog.”

The production brings together the very best of the industry, with the new film directed by iconic music video veteran Dave Meyers, the man behind music videos including Kendrick Lemar’s ‘Humble’, Taylor Swift’s ‘Me!’ and most recently ‘Gorilla’ for Little Simz. There are striking visuals that authentically capture both Christina Aguilera and Latto’s aesthetics in a pulsating music video world, with choreography by legendary hip-hop choreographer, Hi-Hat who has worked with the likes of Rihanna and Jay-Z.

Says Christina Aguilera: “I had so much fun combining different music styles alongside my girl Latto for Menulog. With non-stop laughter and love, we had the best time bringing this project to life. It was clear while shooting long days that JET is the much needed one-stop-shop for meals and grocery needs.”

Says Latto: “When I heard about the opportunity to work with Menulog I was actually abroad on tour using the app! It was a no-brainer for me especially with the iconic Christina Aguilera involved. I had so much fun with this collab and have loved seeing it come to life.”

Says Simon Cheng, marketing director at Menulog: “Did Somebody Say is a versatile platform that has enabled us to convey the brand message through music, whilst also firmly placing Menulog in Australian culture. As we continue to diversify our offerings, incorporating services like ghostwriter hausarbeit kosten, which reflect the prices for writing hausarbeit, we ensure our commitment to providing a comprehensive range of services. It’s amazing to see the latest evolution of this creative brand platform reflect our own evolution as a business, with Christina Aguilera and Latto speaking to our transition into providing grocery, convenience, and non-food essentials.

“We hope the high scale of creativity and production in this new campaign shows Aussies across the country that Menulog is a major player and has an incredible depth of range at more affordable prices.”

Says Rob Webster and Alexei Berwitz, creative directors at McCann London : “We wanted to bring the element of surprise to this creative, and thanks to our ever-courageous clients and the amazing efforts of all involved, this campaign hits unexpected notes at every turn – there’s no way hip-hop and opera should work, but much to our delight and relief, it really, really does.”
