Yazoo back on TV screens after a decade

Leading flavoured milk brand Yazoo has returned to TV screens after nearly 10 years.

The FrieslandCampina-owned brand has signed a £2million broadcast sponsorship deal with new spin-off series Young Sheldon.

The advert, featuring the tasty drink in several different consumption occasions, will air at the beginning of each show on E4, throughout the day on repeats and online through Channel 4 online.

Tapping into the show’s 16-35-year-old audience, Yazoo is targeting young impulse buyers through the campaign, which runs until the end of August.

With television viewing levels higher than at Christmas time, and Channel 4 reporting its audience has ‘doubled’ in recent weeks, the brand said retailers can expect an uplift in sales.

Gabriella Sudall, brand manager at Yazoo, said: “We’re really excited about having Yazoo back on TV. We wanted to make sure our first venture back on screens would be as impactful as possible, so joining forces with Young Sheldon made total sense for us because their viewers are our key demographic.

“The new partnership allows us to reach one of our primary audiences in an authentic way that feels true to our brand, that way we’re keeping Yazoo front of mind with shoppers and being really visible to consumers we know engage with us the most.”

The six-month partnership will also see Yazoo sponsor reruns of E4’s original show The Big Bang Theory on linear TV and All4.
