The objective of this advert campaign was to emphasize the effects of the ruminant specific live yeast on feed efficacy, in particular the improved digestibility of forage fibres, a recent scientific findings and key benefit for dairy farmers in today’s economic environment.
Michel Véricat, Operational Marketing Manager for Lallemand AN, who coordinated the campaign, commented: ” The challenge was to link a scientific concept (improved fibres digestibility) to its visible benefits for the farmers (more milk produced for every ounce of forage) and convey this through a striking visual.”
“This was possible thanks to a team work, and we are grateful to our North American colleagues who came up with the ‘squeezing’ concept and our communication agency TBWA/compact for a great design.
“The winners of the Phoebus Awards are largely publicized by the Union of the Agricultural and Rural Press among professionals, key people and media in the French agro-industry, a great opportunity to reinforce Lallemand visibility and establish the Levucell SC brand,” Vericat said.
