Launching Your Food or Beverage Product Into Canada

With more than 20,000 new food and beverage products launching each year in Canada, there is definitely a need for information and education on how to launch successfully.?As an agency that specializes in helping brands launch, Harbinger has the privilege of helping many optimize their debut in Canada.

Though many of the questions or needs a brand may have are as unique as the product or brand itself, we are asked many similar questions, particularly from our friends across the border, who want advice on coming to Canada.?We thought it would be helpful to bring a panel of experts together and host a webinar, “Launching your food or beverage product into Canada” to shed light on a number of key areas for consideration

“Harbinger works with ConAgra on an on-going basis to drive awareness and education for many of our key brands.”

When we relaunched our Orville brand under a healthier platform and new formulation, they developed and executed a brilliant strategy that addressed key issues and opportunities and reached our target market with motivating reasons to try and buy. In absence of other marketing efforts, Harbinger’s initiatives drove sales to new heights and set us up for success in years to come.

– Head of Marketing, Canada
ConAgra
“Being a US based company, it is outstanding to have passionate experts in the Canadian market on our team.”

Harbinger is fast, flexible and importantly a great steward of our marketing dollars. As a medium sized company, we feel very valued by our account team and Harbinger leadership; they are always fast to follow up and pro-actively provide recommendations for our business. I would recommend this team to companies big and small as they will passionately engage with your business and focus on growing sales.

“Harbinger was an integral partner for my portfolio of Kaz brands such as Braun, Vicks and Honeywell.”

They truly understood the importance of being nimble, working flexibly with me as a partner, and driving value for limited budgets. I always felt they were focused on ROI and would highly recommend them to any brand.

Former Brand Manager, Kaz
“As Evenflo’s marketing agency in Canada, Harbinger was truly an extension of our team.”

They have the ability to move the discussion to the critical conversations that will uncover what is needed to be successful, always keeping the end result in mind. Working with their team helped us achieve our goals and also exceed expectations. They took the time to become immersed in our business. They are trusted advisors, flexible, passionate and a joy to work with. I could not ask for more in a partner.

Dove – A Masterbrand with purpose and a platform to launch category leaders

To differentiate Dove, make it relevant in the cluttered beauty category and launch a host of products year over year, Harbinger, in partnership with a team of partners, worked to uncover and launch the brand’s purpose. For the past 15+ years, we have launched new initiatives and new products all under the key tenants of the brand to make girls and women feel good about themselves and keep consumers coming back to the brand again and again. Since the inception of the campaign and the brand’s entry into several personal care categories for women AND for men, we have seen a significant positive shift in brand perception and massive sales.

Evolving an established brand

Taste USA works with over 40 U.S. Cooperators to bring Canadians an amazing selection of fresh, high-quality U.S. food and beverage products – everything from table grapes to craft beer to barbecue sauce. To appeal to Canadian consumers as the next best choice to local products, Taste USA was in need of a brand overhaul. Harbinger worked closely with their team to update the brand name, tagline and identity, all while validating the changes through focus groups and online surveys. Results are proving successful as Taste USA continues to connect with local consumers and grow north of the border.

Realigning a Brand with its Craft

For over 20 years, the lesley stowe brand has been bringing their consumers the most delicious, hand-crafted products guaranteed to elevate all their entertaining occasions. As more and more competitors came on the market, it was essential that Harbinger worked with the lesley stowe team to realign and reaffirm its key brand identifiers and brand story. We developed a comprehensive brand style guide that could be adopted by all marketing partners and refined the brand’s visual communications. This process culminated in the latest brand campaign, our craft, your art™, which Harbinger created and rolled out across a variety of in-store, online, social media and paid media applications.

Canadian Packaging Launch

Milkadamia, a US-based non-dairy beverage, needed Canadian packaging for the launch of this product in Canada.

In addition to creating impactful, bilingual English/French artwork for Canadian Milkadamia products, Harbinger provided recommendations for French taglines and translation, to resonate with French Canadians. To meet Canadian labeling regulations, Harbinger gathered input from a Canadian registered dietitian, who is a Nutrition Facts Panel expert and ensured the new packaging met our client’s Canadian customers’ needs.

Breaking through in a Crowded (Meat-Free) Market

Gardein wanted to change the idea that meat alternative options are really only for vegans/vegetarians and options available either taste bad or don’t have the same texture as the real thing. ?Harbinger developed a fully integrated PR program to officially launch the brand (under its new parent- ConAgra) to drive awareness; encourage trial and give consumers a reason to believe.

Through initiatives such as content integration with parenting magazines and millennial/Gen Z outlets; a country-wide nano and micro influencer program and targeted sampling with top media and thought-leaders, were able to truly break through and disrupt a very crowded market.

The result has and continues to be incredibly strong sales and a shift in perception that meat free can be for everyone.

A New Format for Dole

Harbinger launched a new format in Canada through an integrated marketing approach. Media partnerships, experiential, influencer and media relations generated results that surpassed the client’s targets on all levels.

Driving Healthy Sales of California Prunes

Harbinger launched a Canadian public relations campaign on behalf of the California Prune Board to promote the versatility and health benefits of prunes. With no advertising support and by leveraging dietitians, targeted influencers and traditional media as credible third-party spokespeople, we increased the volume of California prunes being shipped into Canada by 5 per cent and increased sales by 8 per cent, in the launch year.

A Simple Strategy

A long-time favourite skin care brand of the UK, Harbinger drove awareness and trial for the brand’s debut into Canada. Key to a successful strategy, was understanding the balance between leveraging the brand heritage and love across the pond with beauty trends and needs of Canadian women today.
