Johnsonville's Keep It Juicy Campaign
Johnsonville's 'Keep It Juicy' campaign was inspired by the insight that people are divided by trivial outrages. The campaign aims to encourage people to come together and enjoy moments with others, emphasizing the importance of social interactions. By promoting the idea of lower temperatures for juicier sausages and bringing people together over meals, the campaign resonates with the need for unity amidst today's societal divisions.
Inclusive Campaign Development Process
Johnsonville took a novel approach to developing the 'Keep It Juicy' campaign by engaging in multicultural consulting with CNR Research. This involved evaluating scripts, visuals, and conducting focus groups to ensure the campaign resonated positively across diverse consumer groups. By carefully considering representations and feedback, Johnsonville aimed to create an inclusive and impactful marketing initiative.
Success and Future Impacts of the Campaign
The 'Keep It Juicy' campaign has received overwhelmingly positive responses since its launch on April 8th. With a focus on bringing people together and fostering a sense of community, the campaign aims to drive brand building efforts and resonate with consumers. By advocating for unity and shared experiences, Johnsonville seeks to position itself as a brand that stands for positivity and inclusivity.
