    Daiya Foods, a major player in the dairy-alternative market, faced tough competition in the world of plant-based products. They needed to stand out, change how people saw their brand, and improve their reputation. That's when Daiya partnered with us at Jive PR + Digital, a renowned digital marketing agency. Our goal was to leverage the power of influencer marketing and develop a strategy that would prompt potential customers to reconsider the brand and ultimately drive purchases in-store.

    Our collaboration with Daiya was driven by the need to reinvigorate brand awareness and build relevance within the community. The plant-based market was saturated, and Daiya recognized the need to reposition themselves. Previous attempts with influencers hadn't achieved the desired outcomes, prompting us to take a different and unconventional approach.

  6. If you are providing written answers for your submission, you must provide an answer to this third question: Describe the development of the campaign or program: the planning process, the goal setting, the creative and media development, the scheduling, etc. (up to 250 words):

    Total 119 words used.

    Jive PR + Digital developed a comprehensive strategy to help Daiya achieve their goals. We prioritized Daiya's guidelines to shape influencer content creation while pushing the boundaries of the brand's perception through unique approaches in sponsored content and a diverse range of influencers. By adopting an unconventional approach, Jive engaged both new and existing audiences, encouraging them to reconsider the brand and purchase in-store. The core of our strategy at Jive was authenticity. We set out to genuinely address the concerns of Daiya's audience. Rather than simply promoting products, we wanted to talk about real issues head-on. By identifying common pain points and openly discussing them, our goal was to create a genuine connection between Daiya and its customers.

  7. If you are providing written answers for your submission, you must provide an answer to this fourth question: Outline the activities and concrete results of this campaign or program since the beginning of 2022. Even if your initiative started before 2022, limit your response to activities and results since the beginning of 2022 only (up to 250 words):

    Total 175 words used.

    We seamlessly integrated Daiya into trending food discussions and relatable content, building the brand's relevance within the community. By aligning with popular trends, we ensured Daiya was part of the ongoing conversations, allowing the brand's message to reach a broader audience.

    Our creative strategy and unconventional approach paid off. Two campaign posts went viral, garnering 12.2 million impressions and reaching 9.6 million people organically, at a cost of only $0.01 cent per person. More than 1.1 million people engaged with influencer content featuring Daiya, with each engagement costing just $0.11 cents. By creating an environment where influencers could naturally incorporate Daiya into their content and share their genuine experiences, we successfully shifted the brand's perception in a positive way.

    Through our strategic execution, we successfully reinvigorated Daiya’s brand awareness. By allowing influencers to have creative freedom and genuinely share their feelings about the brand, we made a real impact and turned around misunderstandings. This had a clear effect—both influencers and their followers started seeing Daiya in a whole new way.
