Ocean Spray® Ingredients

Ocean Spray’s consumer brand is one of the most recognized in the world. But while the consumer side was thriving, the ingredient division lacked visibility. Their marketing was being managed by the same consumer-focused agency, which excelled at B2C but struggled with the technical nature of B2B—particularly when it came to reaching R&D professionals, food scientists and formulation experts.

The Challenge

  • To grow the ingredients business, OSI needed to establish a clear, distinct identity apart from consumer marketing, build credibility in the food & beverage manufacturing industry and drive awareness and generate leads among technical buyers worldwide.

Solution Preheading

The Solution

  • The journey began with a single event. At IFT 2024, ColinKurtis helped OSI launch its ingredient presence with a new booth design, speaker engagement support and a pre- and post-show campaign.

Scope: BRAND RESEARCH / WEB UPDATES / TRADE SHOW GRAPHICS + SUPPORT / SOCIAL MEDIA STANDARDS / PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY / BRAND VIDEO / COLLATERAL DESIGN / PACKAGING

BUILDING THE FOUNDATION

A successful ingredient brand requires insights. CK partnered with OSI to build that intelligence and use it as the base for strategy. Brand research, voice of customer research, persona & journey mapping, and message development were the foundational steps critical to OSI’s long-term success.
