FLEISHMANHILLARD FOOD & NUTRITION OUR PERSPECTIVE AND CAPABILITIES
THERE S BEEN AN UNPRECEDENTED, PIVOTAL SHIFT IN HOW WE MAKE FOOD CHOICES Food is no longer just about sustenance or nourishment, convenience or cost. Today, what we eat reflects who we are and what we value. Food is now part of our identity. 2
We have evolved from passive purchasers to active influencers. We have the power, the passion and the platforms to drive change. We are a culture that is redefining the value chain. 3
CULTURE RETURN ON VALUES IS THE NEW RETURN ON INVESTMENT Personal and societal dynamics shape consumers values, impact their decisions, and drive them to action. At FleishmanHillard, we help our clients develop insight-driven strategies based on the intersection of facts and feelings, intelligence and intuition, and trends and traditions. AUDIENCE VALUES AUTHENTIC ENGAGEMENT BRAND VALUES CATEGORY 4
AUTHENTIC ENGAGEMENT It has always been true that what customers say about you is far more important than what you say about yourself. The amplification that social media provides to word of mouth means that reputation is now the primary driver of opinion and motivation to join, choose, buy or engage. The role of brand is now to authentically reinforce reputation. Our response to this dynamic shift is the practice of reputational branding, which seeks to more effectively inform brand strategy through the lens of reputation. The management of the intersection of brand and reputation has become one of the most important challenges of marketing, communications and management today. By identifying an organization s reputation momentum and corporate brand equity, our vision is to create differentiating ideas brought to life through integrated programs that engage constituencies through all the relevant media and touch points. 5
