SUMMARY
With Mustard Ice Cream, French’s Classic Yellow proved we could reinvigorate an old, familiar brand and commoditizing category on a shoestring budget. We did it by aiming squarely at earned media impressions, not just in social but across editorial media. The trick was choosing our moment, staying true to what we are, and bringing our flavor to life in an unexpected way that couldn’t be ignored by consumers or media gatekeepers.
