AHDB, Quality Meat Scotland and Hybu Cig Cymru have joined together to launch a £1.2m campaign for 12 weeks across TV, online and radio to promote beef consumption.

The campaign aims to inspire consumers to create restaurant-style meals in the comfort of their own home using a variety of hindquarter cuts.

The adverts aim to reach 85 per cent of UK households, with levy bodies hoping for a three-to-one return on investment.

Buying patterns have changed significantly due to COVID-19.

The promotional campaign plans to address the issue by driving an uptake in steak and roasting joint sales in the run up to barbecue season.
