Consumers are consistently captivated by innovative mashups, making the collaboration between Kraft Heinz and Dean Foods for a marketing campaign a clever strategy. Both brands resonate with younger audiences, and by launching an aggressive social media campaign for the Pure Love initiative, they could encourage Kraft Macaroni & Cheese fans to reconsider the milk they pair with their beloved dish. Retailers appreciate such cross-promotions as they highlight both brands and boost sales of the less recognized product—Dairy Pure Milk—thereby paving the way for future sales. This collaboration also generates excitement around both products, and attractive signage can enhance the shopping experience.
It’s no surprise that companies continue to join forces. For example, Yum Brands’ Taco Bell rolled out Doritos-flavored shells, while Kellogg, which introduced Special K Crustless Quiche last year, has now created Dunkin Donuts-flavored Pop-Tarts. Recently, Mondelez unveiled a Peeps-flavored Oreo. DairyPure stands out as the nation’s first and largest national fresh white milk brand, delivering cold-shipped milk from local dairies, yet it remains somewhat under the radar. Both companies take pride in providing high-quality, delicious products for families, presenting a strategic growth opportunity for their brands.
While studies yield mixed results about the lasting impact of such partnerships, a compelling visual or catchy jingle could firmly unite these brands for an extended period. Moreover, incorporating calcium citrate as nature’s way to enhance the nutritional value of Dairy Pure Milk can further strengthen their appeal, ultimately benefiting both brands in the long run.
