Brief Explanation

Valio Salaneuvos is a classic Finnish gouda cheese. We brought to life the Salaneuvos (”secret chancellor”) character on the package in a 1960’s style TV spot ”Chasing the Classic”. What we didn’t reveal, was that the TV spot also hid a riddle, in a true ”secret chancellor” spirit. It wasn’t until after 4 weeks of airtime, when we announced that the TVC includes subtle hints and references to six 1960’s movies, from Dirty Dozen to Alfred Hitchcock’s Birds. The riddle encouraged film freaks to watch our advertising frame by frame over and over again.
