What message will grab their attention? And even more so, which words will persuade consumers to break their habit of buying what they always do, and trial your new food product instead?

  • 3 proven aspects of comms messages that resonate in the Food category. For example: should you focus on the origin of ingredients or the process of manufacturing?
