Goal
Launch a new line of gourmet Asian multi-serve entrées, generate consumer awareness and engagement, and stimulate sales.
Approach
We built an integrated campaign with strong emphasis on digital and social media—video, display, native ads, and community engagement. Additional components in the holistic program included a new website, influencer and event overlays, and search engine marketing. The campaign centered on the attributes of great taste and authentic Asian flavors from various regions around the globe. Focused retail distribution meant that a number of custom retailer overlays were necessary, along with broader marketing activity, requiring solid strategy and thoughtful execution to our meet objectives.
