HERO Heads To The Med For Sirena Tuna

HERO has launched a new brand positioning for Sirena Tuna, shot in Croatia, following its appointment as Sirena’s creative agency of record.

HERO was tasked with reaffirming the Sirena’s superior quality in a highly competitive FMCG category. HERO’s winning concept leveraged Sirena’s European heritage, brought to life through a new creative platform shot on location in the Mediterranean.

The new creative platform, Nothing Compares, is brought to life in a 30-second launch spot that celebrates Sirena’s core purpose – to elevate the everyday. The Sirena Tuna, Nothing Compares, campaign will feature across TVC and OOH as well as online.

Shot by Soundrel Director Selina Miles in Croatia, the campaign sees Sirena Tuna take centre stage as an escape from the drag of daily life. HERO ECD, Shane Geffen said, “Anyone who’s opened an iconic yellow tin of Sirena knows that nothing else comes close to the freshness and quality of the product. It’s something that instantly elevates your day and what Selina Miles has beautifully brought to life in this campaign.”

Suzanne Douglas, general manager at Sirena Tuna, said, “We were looking for an agency who could reinforce brand memorability and ensure the quality and freshness of the product was synonymous with the uplifting feeling of freedom that we seek, but often miss out on from the little things in our everyday lives. “HERO captured the brand perfectly with the new position, ‘Nothing Compares,’ and we are excited to launch and develop this new direction with them for Sirena Tuna.

Added Geffen, “We’re so pleased with the brilliant response we’re already seeing to this campaign. It’s this kind of creative recognition that is key to our ambition to be not just Australia’s best independent creative agency and one of the world’s top creative advertising agencies, but also Australia’s best creative agency run by Australia’s top creative advertising and marketing agency talent.”

The launch of the new campaign comes off the back of a number of recent award wins for HERO, with “Through Their Eyes,” for Maybelline NY taking home a Silver Cannes Lion, Silver Gerety award, Golds at AWARD awards and a Grand Prix for Viral Video at the Mad Stars. HERO’s awarded work for 2023 also includes campaigns for Toyota, Centrum and eBay along with client wins including Simply Energy, Calbee and Reckitt.
