Overview and Purpose:
DMG partnered with the Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers (OGVG) to create and execute a targeted marketing campaign aimed at increasing awareness and consumption of Greenhouse grown produce in Tennessee. The objective was to position OGVG as a premium, health-conscious option and expand its market reach through strategic marketing and promotional efforts.
Strategy and Execution:
Create digital ads that resonated with the Tennessee consumers through cultural relevant dishes that are popular to Tennessee citizens.
- Ads showcased the many fresh and flavorful recipes you can make using Greenhouse grown produce for popular Tennessee summer dishes.
- Targeted ads featured 17 OGVG commodities and paired them with fun related recipes for education purposes.
- Leveraging interactive digital ad placements allowed us to have a carousel of recipes together that encouraged users to scroll and read the recipe cooking instructions on the ad itself.
- Using relevant Tennessee symbols, textures, and colors to relate to the audience’s culture and standout in the busy digital landscape. The creation of a custom “Tennessee Tested Summertime Approved” symbol was developed to resonate with the audience.
- Clicking the ad directed users to the Greenhouse Goodness website, where they could explore the full recipe pages or access additional information on the specific commodity.
Why It Worked:
- By creating highly personalized ads and transforming a normal static ad into an interactive and dynamic experience. This helped to capture deeper connections and intent with users online, enticing them to follow our CTA.
- Instead of focusing on a broad message, we pivoted and focused on an individual user’s journey.
- These ads ran from June to September during peak summer months using a mix of drink and food recipes ads relevant to what dishes are popular in Tennessee, mixed in with commodity-based ads that told viewers what best pairs with each Greenhouse grown commodity. Making these ads relatable and easy to understand at first glance.
