Brands promote cheese products through quirky campaigns

Implications - Dairy brands are thinking up creative campaigns that engage, surprise and delight consumers. The hope is these tactics result in loyal consumers -- and gain some social media traction from the shock factor.

Insight - The wellness wave has consumers reconsidering the benefits of ingredients once viewed as a standard part of any diet. North American attitudes toward health tend to focus on omission, resulting in consumers seeking specific products or ingredients to cut out of their daily intake.
