MANILIFE

The brief

Support the peanut butter maestro ManiLife’s growth outside of their London heartland by driving awareness and trial amongst the brand’s target audience in Manchester, whilst increasing rate of sale in local retailers.

The solution

Offices in Greater Manchester that over-indexed in ABC1 employees and were situated close to ManiLife retailers, were invited to participate in the peanut butter sampling experience. Custom-made branded trays displaying Deep Roasted Crunchy and Original Roast Smooth single sample portions were delivered to HR Ambassadors for placement in office kitchens and communal areas.

After trial, employees were served personalised maps with step-by-step directions to their nearest ManiLife store. A survey was carried out 6 weeks following the activation to provide insight on post-trial conversion and barriers to purchase.
