Working together
Questions about working together.
How do you build brand awareness for a food or beverage product that's unfamiliar to consumers?
We first explain what makes the product different, what it tastes like, and when people might enjoy it. Creator demonstrations, sampling campaigns, recipe content, product comparisons, and occasion-based messaging help consumers understand the product before deciding to try it.
What advertising regulations apply to food and beverage marketing, and how does 9AM apply them?
Food advertising must follow FTC requirements for truthful, substantiated claims, while FDA rules govern labeling and claims related to nutrients, health benefits, and terms such as “healthy.” Our team makes sure to review campaign messaging, disclosures, product claims, and supporting evidence to reduce compliance risks.
How does 9AM adapt campaigns for different retail locations and regions?
We adjust campaigns around regional tastes, dietary preferences, cultural habits, local demand patterns, and product availability. Creative, offers, creator partnerships, and media budgets can then vary by market while the core brand positioning stays consistent. This keeps campaigns locally relevant without weakening the wider brand.
How do you support both retail sell-through and direct-to-consumer sales for food brands?
We give each channel a clear role. Retail campaigns may promote local availability, sampling, store visits, and retailer-specific offers, while DTC campaigns focus on product education, bundles, subscriptions, and retention. Shared creative and audience insights help both channels build demand without creating channel conflict.
