In a world of chaos, Ocado is betting big on something refreshingly simple: showing up when you say you will.
The online supermarket has launched a new brand platform called “Life Delivered" to reinforce its identity as a dependable partner in daily life.
Developed by Uncommon Creative Studio, the campaign is centered on the idea of reliability and shows how Ocado fits seamlessly into everyday moments.
Especially the messy, memorable ones.
Uncommon co-founder Lucy Jameson said the timing for a campaign like this couldn’t be better.
"In a Britain which often feels broken, reliability is exactly what people crave. They need brands they can trust amidst the chaos of life and everything it throws at us," she added.
Meanwhile, Sarah Emerson, head of brand at Ocado Retail shared how the new campaign highlights how the brand "plays a real role in reliably delivering" what consumers need.
"'Life Delivered' has taken our promise of unbeatable choice, unrivalled service and reassuringly good value and turned it into a truly emotive comms platform."
This shows that when creative agencies pair honest messaging with consistent delivery, they help brands build trust that lasts beyond a campaign's rollout.
Party Playback
The hero film opens with scenes playing in reverse, capturing a joyful summer birthday party unfolding backwards.
Set to The Chemical Brothers’ “Let Forever Be” with vocals by acclaimed artist Noel Gallagher, the use of the nostalgic soundtrack comes perfectly in time for Oasis' upcoming tour.
Created with production partner Love Song, the commercial is just the first piece of a much larger campaign.
Viewers can expect to see “Life Delivered” across TV and cinema, as well as in digital, out-of-home, print, radio, and audio formats.

Ocado’s new brand stance also reflects findings from consumer research showing that reliability is what online grocery shoppers care about most, more than price, luxury, or even convenience.
This reliability can be broken down into accurate orders, timely deliveries, and no unexpected substitutions.
Which? recently awarded Ocado its “Recommended Provider” badge, and the brand clearly plans to keep that reputation intact.
While other supermarkets are busy shouting about low prices or gourmet upgrades, Ocado is quietly reminding everyone that consistently getting it right might be the most powerful message of all.
Meanwhile, Häagen-Dazs previously released a new campaign that wants consumers to slow down with an ice cream on hand.
