Walmart has created television commercials for Walmart Grocery Pickup and promoted the service in other ways, but with the service now available nationally and growing in both popularity and to even more locations this year, the company is kicking off 2019 with its biggest and first-ever cross-platform national marketing campaign for Walmart Grocery Pickup.
The new campaign uses famous cars to highlight the magic moment of the Walmart Grocery Pickup experience: when a Walmart associate loads the customer’s trunk with groceries.
“We not only picked famous cars from iconic movies we knew would be instantly recognizable to our customers — and launched the campaign during one of the film industry’s most popular awards shows — but we also worked with a variety of different Hollywood studios to gain access to these vehicles,” said Barbara Messing, chief marketing officer of Walmart U.S. “This helped ensure the famous cars looked just like what our customers knew from the films, while demonstrating the ease, speed and convenience of the service — and that it’s for everyone, regardless of what car you drive.
“Walmart has long been known for its amazing TV commercials. TV is still a major focus with this campaign, but one of the things we did differently was create a whole host of additional famous cars content to ensure we’re reaching busy time-starved families wherever they are — including using social media, watching online videos, listening to the radio, and of course, while shopping our stores,” she said. “By sharing a consistent message across a variety of platforms, we’re confident we’ll be able to convince even more customers to give Walmart Grocery Pickup a shot.”
