Fineman PR in action - a case study - Foster Farms

Foster Farms, the largest poultry producer on the West Coast, wanted to differentiate its fresh chicken product from competing brands that were also labeled “fresh and natural” but which were injected or “plumped” with saltwater, a practice that led to chicken that contained near 500% more sodium than Foster Farms’ products.
Using traditional and social media, and grassroots efforts, Fineman PR successfully increased awareness of plumping by 33% among its target audience, with 87% agreeing that plumped chicken is not “natural chicken.”
Nearly 300 million media impressions from stories in The Wall Street Journal, Associated Press and the Los Angeles Times all effectively endorsed our marketing campaign.
The campaign helped bolster client market share and revived a USDA effort to redefine labeling standards for “natural chicken."
