The Problem:
• People consume far more beef, chicken and pork than the #1 selling seafood in America – Shrimp
• Newly formed Shrimp Council needed a brand and an integrated marketing strategy to spur sales
Our Solution:
• Created comprehensive brand identity package
• Educated consumers re: shrimp benefits

WHY WE LOVE PR
Public Relations
“Part of the reason why PR is so cost-effective is because it cuts to the heart of the matter. It is targeted at those whose opinions command respect, and that respect underpins the credibility of the message.” -- Mandy de Wall, Public Relations News
Social Media
“How can you squander even one more day not taking advantage of the greatest shifts of our generation? How dare you settle for less when the world has made it so easy for you to be remarkable?” – Seth Godin, Seth’s Blog
