Absolute Radio is running a bespoke campaign with Maldon Sea Salt called The Hometime Chip Shop Tour.
The project, spanning radio, digital and social, will see afternoon presenters Bush and Ritchie travel to chip shops during this week.
Hitting the road in a specially-commissioned Maldon Salt mobile truck, The Hometime Chip Shop Tour with Maldon® Salt kicked off in Edinburgh on Monday, and will be stopping at local landmarks and tourist attractions.
Simon Kilby Chief Revenue Officer Bauer Media said: “Our insight and understanding of Absolute Radio’s audience of ‘reluctant adults’ coupled with our programming expertise, has delivered a unique campaign seamlessly celebrating the best of Britain up and down the country with Maldon Salt, underpinned by Absolute Radio’s inimitable sense of humour, across radio, digital and social.”
Steve Osborne, Managing Director of Maldon Salt said: “Perfect seasoning is as good as it gets for Fish & Chips. Being a British family business since 1882, we glow with pride over traditions, so partnering with Absolute Radio on The Hometime Chip Shop Tour was the perfect fit.
“It has been the ultimate experience to celebrate the heritage of this nation, and Britain’s favourite dish.”
