The demand for plant-based protein offerings is, well, growing. By leaps and bounds. And Tyson Foodservice has entered the category with the introduction of its Raised & Rooted™ line of plant-based nuggets, tenders and filets.

We created a multifaceted campaign to communicate the product’s amazingly delicious flavor and unlimited menu versatility. From a box mailer that captured the attention of operators, to table tents that appealed directly to hungry flexitarians, we helped nurture the introduction of the Raised & Rooted™ brand in the foodservice segment.

Savvy operators know that meals are built around protein, so naturally, the quality of what’s featured center-of-the-plate, matters. UniPro’s Copper Creek Cattle Company Upper 2/3rds Angus Beef program makes premium beef more attainable for more operators. And that value is passed all the way to front-of-house giving UniPro customers an edge over other foodservice distributor offerings.

Marlin developed the Copper Creek brand by identifying key competitors, the brand name and identity, brand introduction video, and numerous applications, all reflecting the promise of unwavering integrity and clear purpose.

The new normal has shifted to-go in foodservice from being a maybe to an absolute must have. To help operators, we worked with Bush’s to create a takeout program that could help establishments keep families in their community well-fed and business going.

Starting with bean-based recipes for family-sized meals and original recipes created in tandem with chefs who had been furloughed due to COVID-19, we created an email campaign, landing page, point-of-sale materials, and social media tools to help operators in these unique and challenging times.

The Tyson Red Label^® product line features value-added chicken offerings that save time and money for operators. Fully cooked grilled chicken filets and nuggets were already a hit, but some operators had a request: “can you make the grill marks even more pronounced?”

So Tyson Foodservice went to work in the kitchen, adding darker char marks on both sides of the chicken. Then we went to work as well, creating a hot sheet, rebate and digital ad executions that helped get the word out about the new hot-off-the-grill flavor and appeal.
