In 2022, Sanderson Farms remained steadfast in its pursuit to deliver Good, Honest Chicken to consumers across the country. Marketing goals for the company were met, even while completing a complex $4 billion merger with Wayne Farms.
The company’s Sanderson Farms chicken brand launched a Search By Ingredient campaign to aid consumers struggling with high grocery prices. The Search By Ingredient campaign allowed consumers to find recipes and be creative using the ingredients they already had in their pantry thus extending their budgets and ensuring no food goes to waste.
As an added benefit, this campaign helped the Sanderson Farms brand foster a deeper connection with consumers, prioritize community engagement and develop more personal relationships with consumers. The campaign quickly resulted in 250+ user generated recipes, converting followers into fans.
