The UK grocer’s January campaign focuses on its low-price promise.

Morrisons and its advertising agency, Leo Burnett, have launched a 30-second spot that shows customers excited by its reduced prices.

Set in a Morrisons store, the ‘Price Locked Low’ campaign sees customer’s faces light up when they see the price tag and the padlock symbol, indicating that the price won’t rise. One man removes his glasses in disbelief. Another customer takes a long look at her receipt with a big grin on her face when she reads the final price. It highlights the importance of competitive pricing as we kick off the first quarter of 2024.

Leo Burnett took on the account at the end of 2022 and has since been building back up Morrisons creative pipeline, bringing back the ‘More Reasons to Shop at Morrisons’ strapline and having a decent Christmas advert entry with its singing glove campaign.

Morrisons dropped out of the big top four UK supermarkets in 2023 and has been hemorrhaging cash after a controversial US buyout. It’s hedging its bets on a marketing overhaul and a strong retail media offering.
