The Good Start® infant formula brand has initiated a new marketing campaign titled 'Suck It.' This initiative is designed to address and counter the social stigma and judgment often experienced by parents regarding infant feeding methods.
Developed in collaboration with several major agencies, the 'Suck It' campaign employs a confrontational and empowering tone to support parental choices, whether they involve breastfeeding, formula-feeding, or a combination of both. Through this initiative, Good Start® utilizes a multi-channel approach that includes traditional broadcast media, digital platforms, influencer partnerships, and public relations efforts. Tangible elements of the campaign include branded bottle sleeves and a limited-release gift set for new families.
A significant philanthropic component is also integrated, with a pledge to donate packages of formula to a national food bank organization for every individual who registers on a dedicated website.
