With nearly 80% of businesses and over 5 billion consumers using social media, brands can no longer afford to sit on the sidelines. Strategic media exposure is key to increasing brand awareness, reinforcing identity and building lasting consumer relationships that influence purchasing decisions and foster loyalty.

Here’s how leading brands are harnessing the power of media to expand their reach and deepen engagement.

Antipodes

Scientific green beauty brand Antipodes exemplifies strategic brand-building with a proven formula for launching and expanding its range.

By tapping into its highly engaged community for user testing, Antipodes generates authentic pre-launch buzz while gathering valuable insights to inform the final release. This data-driven approach is complemented by targeted partnerships with global influencers who align with the brand’s values and audience, amplifying reach and anticipation. From formulation to packaging, every element is meticulously considered to maximise shelf appeal, social virality, and market visibility, ensuring each launch makes a meaningful impact.

Mingle

Mingle secured major grocery shelf space through a clever blend of health-conscious branding, nutritional transparency and disruption of traditional food narratives.

A standout media campaign featuring Mia Agraviador (the “Why don’t we have both?” girl from the iconic Old El Paso ads) tapped into nostalgia while critiquing outdated food norms. The message? You can have both health and flavour. This resonated with consumers, driving awareness and positioning Mingle as a must-have item for retailers aiming to ride its wave of popularity.

Blue Dinosaur

Blue Dinosaur not only delivers on taste and nutrition, it also stands out through purpose-driven marketing. In support of the McGrath Foundation, the brand donates 10 cents from every Pink Berry and Coconut Bar sold, building both awareness and goodwill.

This campaign creates a meaningful emotional connection with consumers while reinforcing Blue Dinosaur’s values. Retailers benefit by aligning with a socially conscious brand that resonates with today's values-driven shoppers, enhancing shelf appeal and increasing sales.
