Client & Market Overview
Betterful is an emerging regenerative produce brand on a mission to deliver the best blueberries to consumers. Their flagship product is a Regenerative Organic Certified blueberry, grown using climate-friendly practices that enrich soil, support pollinators, and benefit local communities. Entering a crowded produce market, Betterful differentiates itself through sustainability, freshness, and a bold promise: tastier, healthier berries that are better for people and the planet.
Marketing Challenge
Betterful faced the challenge of launching a new, sustainability-focused food brand in a highly competitive category. With limited retail presence and only a single-page website, the brand needed to rapidly build awareness, grow a social following, and drive online sales—all while educating consumers on the benefits of regenerative agriculture.
The Missing Ingredient (Insight)
The strategic breakthrough came from aligning paid and organic Facebook efforts around compelling video content and sweepstakes, leveraging Facebook’s targeting to reach health-conscious and eco-minded shoppers. Repurposing high-performing organic posts and emphasizing regenerative messaging created a halo effect, boosting both paid and organic engagement.
