Remote Production Abilities Key to Success of Tillamook Social Strategy
PORTLAND, Ore. – Known for its top-quality, best-tasting dairy products, including cheese, ice cream and yogurt, among others, Tillamook County Creamery Association (Tillamook) has tapped Sparkloft Media to produce consumer-facing social media content. As one of the
preeminent brands in the food and beverage category, the farmer-owned dairy cooperative will rely on Sparkloft’s social media insight, innovative animation and production styles, and
background in CPG content creation, to keep Tillamook fans and followers entertained and
up-to-date on all important news, releases and recipes.
Consumer purchasing habits have dramatically shifted due to present-day circumstances,
putting a stronger emphasis on brands’ social media efforts. Additionally, with at-home cooking and experimental baking leading social trends, it’s more important than ever to stay on the cusp of social relevance. In the case of Tillamook, an organization holding a strong position within grocery stores around the nation, its content calendar, planned months in advance, had to be quickly repositioned with more relevant stories that inspire, as consumers shelter in place while enjoying dairy products in new and exciting ways.
Sparkloft Media, a Portland-based social-first creative agency, is tasked with planning, designing and creating social media content to keep Tillamook loyalists entertained and informed, while also working to boost awareness and affinity during expansion of the brand throughout the United States.
As social-distance regulations disrupt the traditional creative production approaches by brands and agencies, Sparkloft quickly pivoted to remote production to build Tillamook’s content library. Whether it’s a small table-top photoshoot, or a more complex production involving a remote studio and food stylist, Sparkloft has developed safe and impactful productions to fulfill the constantly evolving content plan. Content featuring the results of these shoots, as well as animations and videos, have recently been completed, with more production planned for summer months.
“Sparkloft Media has been a great partner. Their ability to adapt creative services and still
produce studio-quality work as we are all in remote workplaces, has been a big asset for us,” says Vice President, Marketing, Sue Kapllani, Tillamook. “We are grateful they were up to the challenge of quickly evolving, yet safely managing content production to stay active and relevant in the social space, so we can remain connected with our beloved consumers.”
“Social media is ever-growing; an essential tool for staying connected, especially while we’re spending more time at home,” says Martin Stoll, CEO Sparkloft Media. “We’re honored to help build an even more engaging social media presence for Tillamook, an Oregon-grown brand like ourselves, elevating content to reach audiences of all ages and interests for its products. Refreshed social content is in high demand, and maintaining an effective remote production for this innovative, challenger-brand, positions Sparkloft as the perfect partner, as it is both essential to our business and quick client turnaround.”
The partnership between Sparkloft Media and Tillamook initially began with a project in 2018, with Sparkloft providing consumer sentiment analysis on brand perception and flavor trends. Sparkloft encourages social media fans to like, comment and follow Tillamook at:
