Almond Breeze
Returns to UK
Airwaves
Blue Diamond’s Almond Breeze
consumers in the United
Kingdom are once again seeing their favorite
non-dairy beverage on television as the “Living a
Healthier Lifestyle is a Breeze” campaign showcases
its revamped commercial. The campaign, which
began airing in December 2014 and will continue
into February, has been updated since its original
premiere, featuring new voiceover and music.
Whereas the original campaign aimed to introduce
Almond Breeze
as a new product from California
using an American accented voiceover, the new
commercial features an English accented voiceover.
The change communicates to the audience that this
brand is now a staple in the U.K. market.
