MNIFT Virtual Luncheon Dairy Meeting
This event is sponsored by Agropur, Glanbia, and Milk Specialties Global
The Strong Inside™ - A consumer campaign
Overview:
Anand and Lindsey will provide an overview of The Strong Inside™ - A consumer campaign.
The Strong Inside™ is a digital marketing campaign, designed to enhance consumer awareness of the role proteins from milk can have on their overall health and wellbeing, no matter their age, stage, or health goals. Whether in dairy products or as ingredients in foods and nutrition supplements, these native nutrients are as relevant in the diet of busy working moms and seniors, as they are for gym-goers and athletes.
