Breaking Campaign: Jenny Craig Gets Real
Jenny Craig has just announced the launch of their latest campaign which celebrates the stories of everyday clients,
breaking from the tradition of celebrity-only weight loss journeys.
“Our research shows that people are inspired by their peers, and nothing is more motivating than hearing the true,
unscripted, stories of people who have gone before them,” said Amy Smith, Managing Director for Jenny Craig Australia
and New Zealand.
Part of a wider campaign being rolled out, the initial TVC spots centre around a ladies’ lunch, with Mel B asking other
Jenny clients about their experiences on the program.
“I am so proud of the women in this campaign who allowed us to share in their joy while getting real and talking about
what it’s like to follow Jenny’s program,” said Ms Smith.
“Without doubt our celebrity ambassadors will always have a place in the world of Jenny Craig – but we’ve listened and
responded to current trends with a campaign I’m very excited about.”
The “Real Stories” campaign also launches a new Money-Back Guarantee.
“We turn 30 this year and we’re still just as confident that our program is your best chance of losing weight and
keeping it off as we were back in 1983,” said Ms Smith. “So much so that we’re putting our money where our mouth is and
offering a Money Back Guarantee for new clients.”
“We started in 1983 with a common vision: to help change real peoples' lives as we support them along their weight loss
journey. It is important to understand that weight management can be an ongoing struggle for many of us, celebrity or
not. Old habits die hard, sometimes we set unrealistic goals and lose willpower after many repeated experiences of
failure and sometimes life’s challenges trigger weight gain. That’s why we recognize the importance of supporting our
clients, listening to them and understanding them, one on one.”
The stories of these five women are extraordinary and like the thousands of people trying to get healthier every day on
their own, we believe that through hearing stories like these, people will be inspired and seek help if they need it.
They are proof that it is never too late to change your life.
