Case Study: Flawless Execution Leads to Inc. 5000’s Fastest Growing Company Award
BTI is very fortunate to have great clients who continue to trust their brand’s communication and launch to BTI. When one of our past clients asked us to create and launch a new company and a line of 100% juice products for the U.S. school market, we were thrilled to take on the challenge.
To differentiate the line, we leveraged the iconic look of America’s historic Route 66 and created a new brand called Fruit66 with 8 great refreshing flavours to be sold in schools, retailers and restaurants. The package design had to appeal to a trio of stakeholders – kids, parents and school nutritionists across the country.
After creating the brand identity and package, we supported the launch with a series of strategic tactics:
- Sell sheets used by the sales force including custom sell sheets focused on specific distribution channels
- Advertising in magazines targeting all three target markets
- Created a tradeshow strategy with the design of the booth along with giveaways (and t-shirts), product sampling, event invitations, and a pre-event party
- Email and direct mail campaigns targeting the schools
- Point of purchase material for both school and retail channels
- Designed a new website with integration to an ecommerce platform
- Social media campaign and ongoing social media brand reputation management
The combination of the clean, slim metallic can with the boldness of the iconic logo proved to be an instant success. Fruit 66 is now available in schools throughout every State in the Continental U.S.
