SERVING SPICE AT SCALE

Brand Challenge

Make Subway's new spicy range impossible to ignore at dinner decision time, and turn a product launch into a must-try cultural moment.

Our Solution

The Spicy Show with Joel Creasey – a bespoke 6pm segment designed to own the dinner-time conversation.

Featuring never-before-heard celebrity interviews and seamless product integration, NOVA transformed a traditional sponsorship into an immersive, multi-channel content series. To extend engagement, we launched the Spicy Code Drop competition with Fitzy, Wippa & Kate and The Chrissie Swan Show, encouraging audiences to follow daily code words for the chance to win cash prizes and major trips. Timing creator-led content around the dinner decision moment drove increased awareness, consideration and trial.

The Takeaway

The right talent at the right moment can influence real purchase behaviour.
