Now in its second year, the promotional activity will also include videos on social media and on-demand TV alongside digital outdoor advertising throughout London.

The campaign will continue to target millennials (16 to 35 years olds) including young parents through the spoof organisation - 'The Department of Dairy Related Scrumptious Affairs' using emotive taste messages to remind them about the nutritional value of dairy.

Rebecca Miah, AHDB head of dairy marketing said: "People really enjoyed the humour from the initial campaign. The next phase builds upon that success and introduces new ways dairy can be enjoyed using cinema, iconic poster sites and social media activity.

"Cinema advertising is a great way to target a captive audience while they’re in a positive frame of mind. They often combine the experience with a meal out so it’s a perfect time to promote positive dairy messages."

Attitudinal research conducted after the first year of activity showed eight percent of the target audience were less likely to cut down their dairy intake and 11 percent were less likely to replace dairy with alternatives.

The 'Department' has also recruited a consumer panel to test the emotional and physical response to dairy versus non-dairy food using brainwave EEG headband technology. Results will be announced with an integrated PR launch and supported by Instagram influencer campaign.

Farmers can promote the campaign locally by ordering branded posters, banners, re-useable coffee cups and car stickers to use on-farm and at local events.
