Challenges

New School American Cheese needed to establish and refine its social media presence to build brand awareness and grow its follower base. Their primary challenge was reaching more people while effectively communicating their premium product offering. They wanted to educate their audience on what made their cheese different—focusing on quality, flavor, and modern appeal—while also showcasing their brand’s personality and creating a sense of community.

 

Additionally, their posting frequency was inconsistent, affecting their ability to remain top of mind with their audience. Their messaging lacked cohesion, leading to a disjointed brand voice. They also needed a structured approach to drive more engagement, attract food service partners, and eventually expand into new product lines and retail channels.
