The Challenge
What stood in the way

Blackmore Dairy produced award-winning artisan cheeses but had hit a growth ceiling at local farmers’ markets. They lacked the brand credibility and media exposure needed to approach national retailers, and their story wasn’t reaching the food-conscious consumers who would champion their products.

The Solution
Our approach
We elevated Blackmore from a market stall brand to a retail-ready proposition through strategic PR, a premium brand refresh, and a content strategy that let their craftsmanship speak for itself.
Step 1
Brand Elevation
Redesigned packaging and brand collateral to meet the visual standards expected by premium retailers, while preserving the artisan authenticity that made Blackmore special.
Step 2
Strategic PR Campaign
Secured features in national food publications, trade magazines, and broadcast media that positioned Tom Blackmore as a voice for the artisan food movement.
Step 3
Retail Pitch Support
Created a compelling trade deck and sampling strategy that gave buyers the confidence to stock Blackmore alongside established brands.
