Changing perceptions of the environmental impacts of raising Canadian beef
LAUNCH CASE STUDY VIDEO
Challenge
71% of Canadians agree that eating less beef is better for the environment. This was a major concern for the Canadian Cattle Association as the misconception of raising Canadian cattle continued to grow. They needed a comprehensive promotional campaign that would resonate well with the misinformed target audience and begin to highlight the true environmental benefits. BTI knew whatever creative approach was taken to solve this problem would require challenging the paradigms of cattle and the environment.

This was a major concern for the Canadian Cattlemen Association as the misconception of raising Canadian cattle continued to grow.

benefits. BTI knew whatever creative approach was taken to solve this problem would require challenging the paradigms of cattle and the environment.
Solution
The goal was to get people back to eating more beef again and feeling good about it. BTI proposed a creative approach where industry leading influencers with a passion for food would travel nationwide and visit various cattle farms known for utilizing new and innovative ways of incorporating sustainable methods into raising cattle. The concept came to fruition through strategic planning, effective management and tactical execution. A campaign logo was developed as well as videos of influencers visiting the farms. A landing page was created to showcase the farm visit videos and digital/social media ads were created to promote and drive traffic to the landing page.
