SUMMARY
Hellmann's, a brand that for years has stood for real, was in trouble. People doubted the wholesome quality of any food produced by a "big food" conglomerate, which is Hellmann's. By the end of 2014, Hellmann's had suffered three years of sales and share declines. By showing the family farms that grow the soybeans used in Hellmann's, people learned that Hellmann's is made from real ingredients, changing brand perceptions. This program stopped the sales decline, and saw its first share growth since 2012. A "real" brand turnaround story.
