Since our beginning as food industry ESP developers 15 years ago, we’ve remained focused on the food industry. We’ve done so partly because the food industry is where we started and what we love. But we’ve also done so because we place great importance on the value of focus.
Effective food industry branding and marketing require an investment of time, assets, energy, and emotions, and that hasn’t changed since we started. What has changed are the timelines under which we and our partners work. Especially in the last five years, we’ve seen timelines shrink dramatically. We’ve seen the effect that mergers and acquisitions have had on the urgency of branding initiatives; we’ve been part of the hustle and bustle of post-regulation reformulation (and repackaging).
We’re especially reminded of the need for efficiency as IFT16 approaches, as we help our partners (longstanding and brand new) design booths and introduce brands and market new ingredient technologies. Informing all of this work are brand strategy initiatives that we’ve collaborated on.
