Oatmeal Crisp General Mills

Crunch is Back

Agency: Cossette

Description

After nearly a decade out of the spotlight, Oatmeal Crisp is making a bold comeback, poised to take its place in kitchen cupboards across Canada. With General Mills’ continued focus on its cereal portfolio, this latest campaign by Cossette takes a fresh approach with three distinct yet interconnected TV spots, each capturing the same chaotic family breakfast from a different perspective: mom, dad, and the family dog.

Each family member's perspective features an inner monologue laced with sarcasm and relatable musings, revealing how a little bit of crunch from Oatmeal Crisp makes a difference—not just in their breakfast, but in how they see their world.

But what makes this campaign truly unique is how each ad functions both as a standalone 30- or 15-second spot and as part of a larger narrative across all three. Viewers can watch any one of them and get an entertaining snapshot. But when seen together, the full story unfolds in a way that feels fresh and unexpected. Most importantly, each spot reinforces how the Oatmeal Crisp’s crunch can make life’s unpredictable and messy mornings that much better.

This professional campaign titled 'Crunch is Back' was published in Canada in March, 2025. It was created for the brands: General Mills and Oatmeal Crisp, by ad agency: Cossette. This Digital, Film, and OOH Outdoor media campaign is related to the Food industry and contains 3 media assets. It was submitted 9 months ago by Daphné Cousineau of Cossette.
