SUMMARY
Truvia aimed to move from the #3 sugar substitute brand (measured by share) to #2 by stealing share from a key competitor. They needed to gain consumer trust and awareness of its benefits to expand beyond early adopters, and block competitors. The creative leveraged humorous songs with an honest but fun vibe. During the campaign, Truvia increased its share and became #2. Its growth outpaced total category growth fivefold. It was directly mirrored by a 5 point loss in the key competitor's share, suggesting Truvia successfully stole from them.
