Digital Potatoes

Potato GoodnessThe U.S. Potato Board got some recognition for balancing traditional and digital media recently. Their target?

She’s called “Power Mom.” “Momfluential.” “Chief Purchasing Officer.” Even “Mogul Mom.” She is the United States Potato Board (USPB) Domestic Marketing program’s primary target: women, 25-54 with kids younger than 18 living at home. She makes at least 80 percent of the decisions regarding her household’s spending, and she doesn’t make those decisions passively.

The USPB presented a case study at the “M2Moms Annual Conference”, a professional development conference for marketers.

Meredith Myers, USPB Public Relations Manager, was part of an interactive panel in October, along with the Vice President of Marketing for iRobot and Director of Consumer Public Relations for Hallmark Cards. These professionals came together and discussed, to a packed room, how their unique approaches directly reach “momfluentials” and are generating measurable results.

Some of their digital outreach includes:
