Un(think) Foods
integrated launch Campaign
The Goal
To launch a new brand of flour that is much healthier for the consumer than regular all purpose flour, encourage people to try it, and design a strong brand positioning that can translate to their full product line.
Background
The Issues
Flour is a mundane, everyday ingredient that people use all the time but don't really think of. Most Americans don't remember the last time they needed to buy flour, even though its a staple, much like salt and pepper. So how do we convince people to drop their staple flour brand and join Un(Think)?

THE Situation
By understanding how people regularly engage with flour; flour's historic and multicultural significance, and how mitigating or mute the health concerns that are loosely associated with flour- we can reposition the industry of flour with he launch of this brand.
Here's what we found:
-
Every corner of the earth uses traditional wheat flour to make cultural foods.
-
America's millennial base has is the most diverse population base in the US.
-
Cultural diversity and food strike a particularly strong chord with millennials.
Empower The team:
They discovered . . .
Flour is a culturally connective ingredient that binds every culture on earth to each other.
Aside from technical advances, there has been no innovation to the way wheat is processed into flour in thousands of years.
Millennials are uniquely separated from the culture of their ethnic background because many of them are multi-generational.
Which lead to these solutions
To successfully launch this brand to the fore front of peoples minds we needed to position flour as a daily essential, and connect with consumers on a deeper level than personal health because we are saturated with competitors that already positioned themselves that way.

BRAND VALUE
- Un(think) has the power to really redefine the industry of flour. This campaign at their launch could become a core part of their identity. We've seen time and time again when embracing diversity authentically and thoroughly, consumers become brand loyalists. Rihanna's Fenty is a prime example. This campaign also allows the brand to champion health and wellness without being perceved as patronizing.

The two pillars the CMO wanted was to encourage trial and start a movement. It's easier to try new things when it is presented as familiar; and to start a movement you have to be emotionally invested, what better way to spark that, than by celebrating people for who they are?!
