Wax Communications – Press Release | 12.08.09
Wax Communications has created an integrated campaign that asks the nation what their favourite McVitie’s biscuits are.
The activity, called ‘Bonkers about Biscuits’ asks biscuit lovers to vote for their favourite Mcvitie’s biscuit for their chance to instantly win a share of £5,000 every day.
Wax spearheaded the Bonkers for Biscuits’ creative concept that has driven an above the line campaign, produced by Publicis, that first airs on 1st September.
The 8-week instant-win on pack promotion starts on August 17. Consumers enter their pack details online at www.bonkersaboutbiscuits.com, along with the name of their favourite McVitie’s biscuit, to see instantly if they have won 1 of 50 cash prizes everyday ranging from £50 to £1,000.
The website implemented by digital agency InBox, also features a forum where consumers can have their say on why they love their favourite biscuit, with an additional weekly prize awarded to the best comment.
Wax Creative Director Phil Pawsey says:
“We found people are really passionate about their favourite biscuits and we‘re encouraging them to debate this online when they enter the competition. It’s a real fun campaign that gets people smiling.”

Sarah Heynen, Sweet Biscuits Marketing Director of United Biscuits, says:
“Biscuits are part of our national culture, and everyone has their favourite. We expect McVitie’s Bonkers about Biscuits to engage the public, and it’s just the kind of diversion the nation needs to brighten their day at a time when it’s all a bit doom and gloom. We are expecting it to be a real winner for all involved.”
Nic Sanders, United Biscuits Account Director at Wax, adds:
“The promotion is a great way to reward all the loyal McVitie’s consumers and also help establish the brand, in the heartland of new generations”
