On this project I worked as the account planner/media planner.

As you can see, the jerky market is very saturated
And in the last 5 years the premium jerky market has taken off
However, since we are focusing on the outdoor adventurers and we know they shop at stores such as REI, we can narrow down our key competitors to epic and tanka.
Epic: #1 selling premium jerky out of texas , and the most recommended product by employees at REI. They also have a large engaging fan base on social media.
and don’t use beer or wine in their jerky products. however they do use 100% grassfed animals and organic ingredients.

Because we found that packaging design is so important, we decided to redesign the packaging to better connect the brand to the consumer.
We came up with 4 options
By redesigning the website, we are able to tell our story. With our very own camp recipes.
We can utilize Facebook by connecting with our consumers on a deeper level.
With Instagram, we can post specific adventures, engage with consumers, and use universal hashtags like #myrefuge
and a commonly used one like #pnw.
Let us explain.
Our social influencers we chose are people like
In our survival kit, are the earlier mentioned essentials. canteens, matchbooks with our adventure logos, whistles, and our premium steak strips for them to try.
