Millennial Momvertising Opps: Smithfield launches new campaign


Sales Lead:  recently launched a campaign showing how important it is to have actual meat in viewers' breakfast routines.

Recent leadership shifts:

  • ​​​​​​​Less than a year has passed since Smithfield promoted senior marketing director Chip Morgan in May 2022 and hired senior marketing director Lauren Talbert in December 2022.

Additional spending insights:

  • Digital and social insights (digital ad spend, effectiveness, impressions, and performance)
    • 2021-2022 spend: In 2022, Smithfield spent roughly $7.3m on digital ads, 38% more than the roughly $5.3m spent in 2021.
    • 2022 data: The company earned an estimated 927.2m digital impressions last year via Facebook (38%), Instagram (28%), desktop video (23%), desktop display (7%), mobile display (3%), and Twitter (1%) ads.
      • ​​​​​​​Smithfield placed 71% of last year's desktop video ads site direct onto YouTube and the remaining 29% via The Trade Desk onto yahoo.com.
  • Additional channel insights  
    • The company utilizes radio, OOH, print, local broadcast, and Google Ads.

Additional agency insights:

  • Opportunity: Get in touch soon to offer PR, media, digital analytics, and/or multicultural services.
    • Smithfield's relationship with The Escape Pod seems to be relatively new, so the company may seek other new agency partners.
    • ​​​​​​​The Escape Pod was behind Smithfield's 2022 holiday campaign, so it will likely do the same in 2023.
  • Current agency roster:
    • ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Escape Pod: Creative agency partner
