Breaking Category Clichés with a Brand People Couldn't Forget

For years, TANY, a processed cheese brand from the Šumava region, faced a familiar branding challenge. Consumers recognised its individual products, but rarely remembered the brand behind them. Our mission was to change that.

Instead of relying on isolated marketing activities, we developed a cohesive campaign built around a distinctive creative concept designed to make the brand truly memorable. Or perhaps more accurately… unforgettable to hear.

Challenge accepted

Our objective was to bring the entire product portfolio together under one strong master brand, creating a clear and consistent communication platform instead of fragmented marketing activities.

At the same time, we developed a distinctive communication and visual concept that helped TANY stand out in a highly competitive category, maximising brand recognition and recall – even with a relatively modest campaign budget.

Another Happy Family Around the Dinner Table? Well…

The processed cheese category is highly competitive and most brands rely on the same familiar advertising formula: a happy family gathered around the table, fresh bread and a slice of cheese. We knew that wasn't the way to make TANY stand out. To build a memorable brand, we needed a creative idea that would break category conventions while remaining simple, distinctive and easy to remember. So we took a completely different approach.

A Simple Insight Instead of Another Category Cliché

During a strategy workshop with the client, we uncovered a simple but powerful consumer insight.

TANY is always there when you need it. Whether it's packed in a school bag for lunch, carried in a backpack on a hiking trip or grabbed for a quick dinner at home, TANY is a convenient everyday staple that's always within reach. This insight became the foundation of the entire campaign and inspired the central campaign line: "You've Got TANY!"

From there, we built a consistent creative platform across every touchpoint – from display advertising and social media to YouTube and, most importantly, television, where TANY Šumavský Krém is always within reach, no matter the situation.

A Rap Anthem, a Flying Hand and a TV Commercial That Broke the Category Rules

From the very beginning, we set out to create the exact opposite of a typical processed cheese commercial. Instead of predictable family scenes and conventional product shots, we developed an energetic, fast-paced TV commercial designed to capture attention the moment it appeared in an ad break. At the heart of the campaign was the catchy rap anthem "You've Got TANY!", created by DJ Roxtar. More than just a soundtrack, it became a memorable sonic brand asset that reinforced the campaign message and made the commercial instantly recognisable. Throughout the spot, we made the brand highly visible through repeated and prominent branding. In a category where consumers often remember the product but not the manufacturer, strengthening brand recall was one of our primary objectives. To bring the core idea to life, we introduced a distinctive brand asset: a hand holding TANY Šumavský Krém that could appear almost anywhere. It burst through the dining table. Shot out of a school desk. Popped out of a hay bale. Always putting TANY exactly where people needed it – within reach. To extend the campaign beyond television, we also cast Czech influencer Martin Hranáč, whose appearance helped generate additional attention across social media.

The TV campaign ran during January and February, a period with relatively low seasonality in the processed cheese category. Launching immediately after the Christmas advertising peak allowed us to achieve significantly greater reach while working with the same media budget.
