Greggs goes undercover

A tactical PR stunt carried out by Greggs has changed a significant number of people's perception of the brand from greasy sausage rolls to elegant alimentation.

Greggs, or Gregory & Gregory as they rebranded for the day, set up a stall at a local foodie festival, characteristically attended by the customary group of pretentious cuisine snobs. Removing all of their iconic blue visual identity, they became Gregory & Gregory for the day: an independent, high-end pop-up, boutique restaurant (buzz-words mandatory).

And?

Hook, line and sinker. Foodies from all over the festival were charmed by their minimalist, beautiful branding, elegantly-served dishes and genuinely delicious food.

The chefs took great pride in simply turning the sign around to reveal that this, in fact, was the high-street fast-food joint they all love to flagrantly abhor.

The stunt was a fun way to celebrate Greggs' new Summer range that's hitting stores all over the UK imminently.
