Katy Perry Fronts Latest Local Menulog Campaign

International pop star Katy Perry is the latest big name to become the face of Australian-born food delivery brand Menulog.

Perry’s stint comes after the high-profile campaign featuring Snoop Dogg, who offered his own take on the brand’s “Did Somebody Say…” jingle.

Alongside Snoop Dogg’s jingle, various local Australian artists became a part of the campaign, offering their own spin on the tune, including Baker Boy, Kirsten Salty, D’Arcy Spiller and Big Twisty.

It is understood the brand is keen to do more local iterations of the jingle and campaign off the back of Perry’s involvement.

The full video clip for Perry’s Menulog song screened during Wednesday night’s State of Origin clash. It was directed by iconic music video veteran Dave Meyers, who previously created videos for Perry’s hits “Swish Swish” and “Firework”.

The music and lyrics were co-created by Perry, Kris Pooley, creative agency McCann London and the team responsible for the original “Did Somebody Say Feat. Snoop Dogg” track.

Perry said working with Menulog was a really fun and natural experience.

“Coincidentally, most of my records and eras have food undertones to them, from strawberries to peppermints to now mushrooms,” she added. “Ordering takeaway is a regular Saturday night for me, so it was fun to channel that into a video that is a combination of the things that bring joy to my life: poppy bright colours, wild outfits and food puns sung over a catchy tune.”

Simon Cheng, marketing director at Menulog, noted both the success of the Snoop Dogg campaign and the sheer scale of the one hitting the market now.

“We really were blown away by the success of “Did Somebody Say Feat. Snoop Dogg. It put the Menulog brand firmly on the cultural map, anchored the message that Menulog is the answer to all good cravings, and connected us with audiences, building brand love and consideration in a fiercely competitive sector,” he said.

“While we’re launching with a blockbuster TVC, this is a global creative brand platform running across 19 markets in 20 languages, and underpinned by a comprehensive through-the-line activation strategy.

“Katy Perry brings unparalleled star power and her playful nature matches ours to a tee. It’s the perfect partnership to continue building the instinctive connection between Menulog and the joy of food delivery.”
