We transformed her birthday into an epic party with DJ Bru-C, glowsticks, and a dance floor packed with over 100 residents and staff.

This clever newsjacking triumph generated national media buzz and viral social engagement including Mail Online, Mirror and The Sun whilst showcasing Aldi’s fun personality to resonate with mainstream consumers – getting them to choose Aldi because they love the brand, not just its great value.
