Approach

Tasked with reaching an increasingly young, urban and diverse audience, we incorporated bold, colorful illustrations and animation as well as a down-to-earth, conversational tone into the It All Starts With A Seed campaign for South Dakota Corn.

"We developed a memorable, award-winning campaign to help the South Dakota Corn Utilization Council connect with a consumer audience that was younger and more diverse than ever before."

Results

The It All Starts With A Seed campaign performed exceptionally well. It won three Silver honors at the 2022 American Advertising Awards hosted by American Advertising Federation – South Dakota. The following year, the campaign earned 7 First Place trophies at the National Agri-Marketing Association Region 3 Best of NAMA Awards as well as the coveted Best of Show honor for advertising. 

Its reach extended far beyond industry accolades, though. 

Outdoor advertising in key high-traffic areas reached commuters in primary media markets throughout the state. Web traffic to ThisIsFarming.org was strong throughout the campaign, with 10,497 site visits and a 54 percent increase in direct traffic over the previous year’s campaign.
