Media Edge: Orchard Valley Harvest targets Gen-Z, millennials in new push

Media Sales Lead: Orchard Valley Harvest (OVH) just kicked off its first integrated brand campaign. The creative, which is from OVH's AOR, Terri & Sandy, includes three video ads. The spots will be supported across national TV, digital, and social media. The campaign is accompanied by a rebrand that includes a new logo, brand identity, and packaging. OVH used Straight Forward Design for the rebranding project. The brand hopes the rebrand will help it reach Gen-Z & millennials more effectively. OVH also announced it will donate 1% of all sales to ending child hunger in the US, which should be appealing to its young target audience. 

Key Lead Takeaways: OVH has not allocated a significant budget toward advertising for several years in a row, but this campaign signals it is about to ramp up spending. Reach out now to see what types of ad space you can provide.
