This is where good ingredients are the building blocks of good communities: a fresh face for Bob’s Red Mill.
Founded in 1978 by Bob Moore as a miller of whole grains, Bob’s Red Mill had come across two challenges. First, they had grown to be perceived as offering primarily gluten-free alternatives. And second, the public face of their company, the titular Bob, had unfortunately passed away. We needed to bring forward the spirit of Bob without his visage while also showing that the company offer’s something for everyone. It was time to show that delicious homemade food made with Bob’s Red Mill can turn any table into a community.
Our key insight was clear from early on: food is a binding agent for people. It’s why we gather. It’s a building block of community. Or, in the new parlance: Moregetherness. From there, we worked with Bob’s Red Mill to set the strategy, update the brand and marketing and reintroduce Bob’s Red Mill to the world as a company built on the power of real food to create real community. We started with fresh messaging and visuals to seed our social media and built up to a national television spots and billboards on the way to National Good Neighbor Day. As we continue to keep the Moregetherness maxed out, we created additional videos as television spots documenting four real groups around the country, exploring what community means to them in the most authentic way possible. There was nothing fake, just like Bob’s Red Mill ingredients. Less than a year in, we have successfully differentiated and established that Bob’s Red Mill is the food company made to bring people together.
