Rabbit content director Craig Rasmus directs latest Arnott’s Shapes campaign via TKT Sydney
Campbell Arnott’s has launched a new campaign this week for its popular snack Arnott’s Shapes, through TKT Sydney.
The spots, directed by Craig Rasmus, showcase humorous scenarios taken from ‘The Shapesons’, an Aussie sitcom family who prove that no matter what the situation is and what your family is like you’ll find a Shapes flavour for every person in it.
The campaign consists of one 30-second TVC and 11 15-second TVCs.
Rasmus and his producer Rita Gagliardi joined the Rabbit team earlier in the year, adding to the Rabbit stable of talent.

Short and sharp. Nicely done

Refreshingly good. Smart and funny.
Why are you doing this stuff (it not simple – its completely weird and disconnected from what the brand is about – Shapes have always been about flavour. Not the shapes. This is NOT brand building or sales driving. Its sort of creative but thats it. Tone is all wrong too. Best of luck – I hope it works, I love this brand.
Stale. Uninspired. Will give TKT the benefit of the doubt and say there was an idea here when it started. Surely it must have been the client that reduced these to another ‘idiot Dad’ snoozefest. The Simpsons themselves are on their last legs. Why would a Simpsons parody be a good idea? Comedy is hard. These don’t land.
On paper they were probably funnier. Unfortunately to bring these to life they needed a lot more money than was put into them. More money would have meant better talent, better music, more time to shoot the spots, more time to craft in the edit suite and oh fuck it they’d probably still be shit.
I laughed out loud with the first ad. Great work by all.
The Shapesons. The Freemans.The Brainless Formulas.
These were way funny on the Voice my family loved them especially the hat one. Nothing much else to remember of TV at the moment.
The soccer one is gold. No overt product claim, funny casting. Good stuff.
That ‘your sister’ script could have been okay if it just wasn’t for the terrible acting. This is whats getting lost as the quality of production values is eroded. (At least I’m guessing thats behind it.) You can always get something made cheaper but its the more intangible- but super important things (like casting/acting) -that suffer. And then you have nothing. But hey you did it cheap!
