What is the Collagen Marketing trend?
Collagen Marketing: Food items like broth and jerky have always included collagen for the very fact that they're meat-based, but with the continued collagen "craze," brands that create such items by highlighting the fact that they have collagen in them. This shift in marketing plays on the popularity of fad diets and allows for brands to reframe how their traditional products are perceived by consumers.
