Potatoes USA has a new marketing campaign that shows how potatoes fuel athletic performance and poses the question: “What are you eating?”. The campaign is based on the idea that consistently beating your personal best isn’t just about how you train, it’s about what you eat.
Their aim is to demonstrate the performance-boosting benefits of America’s favorite vegetable. Potatoes USA worked with its members to identify a nutrition-based lifestyle benefit that challenges consumers’ preconceived notions about potatoes. Extensive research led to a strategy based on a key truth: Potatoes fuel performance. Most people don’t consider the potato a performance food and are surprised to learn about all of the nutritional benefits.
“What are you eating” ad slicks, branded gear, event supplies and more are available to industry members looking to springboard off this clever and unique campaign.
