Cheese Snack Looks to Break Out of the Pack with Bold Rebrand
NutraDried Food Company has named Shine United agency of record for the Moon Cheese brand. Moon Cheese is a crunchy, high protein snack made only of cheese. This all natural, 100% cheese product requires no refrigeration to make it easy to eat on-the-go.
Shine United, a full-service advertising, design and digital agency based in Madison, Wisconsin, will be responsible for creating differentiation for Moon Cheese within the snack category, identify potential growth opportunities for the brand and increase sales of the product.
“I’ve long admired Shine’s work in helping transform and elevate brands across many marketing categories and channels,” said Mike Pytlinski, CEO of NutraDried Food Company. “They have been leading our foundational brand research initiative over the past few months and have proven to be smart, strategic, creative and a great partner overall. I’m tremendously excited about what Shine will bring to the table to help us drive growth.”
The engagement will be focused, among other projects, on packaging redesign, social media management, digital advertising and a new website. The goal of these projects will be to raise awareness within a crowded snack field and to increase consideration and trial among potential consumers.
“As an agency, we’re always looking for brands that are on the cusp of something big,” said Curt Hanke, Shine founder and CEO. “Moon Cheese is exactly that — a phenomenal product poised for tremendous growth. We are truly fired up about the opportunity to help crystallize this brand and catapult it forward.”
