Build a Bright Future Frigo® Cheese Heads®

Imagine you’re a student and you have a chance to help your school win $10,000! Cheese Heads Brand made it possible when people entered their school in the 4th Annual “Build a Bright Future” essay contest.

The Challenge

Drive Frigo Cheese Heads brand awareness, trial and loyalty by reaching moms & kids with an education-based program to award schools with cash prizes for a needed school project.

Consumer First Approach

As this was the 4th annual execution of the program, we had a great sense for what school kids love during snack time… Frigo Cheese Heads string cheese! But for this go around, we partnered with School Family Media to better understand how best to help various PTOs and PTAs. This allowed us to tailor the program messaging to focus on key wants and needs that have been unaffordable for certain schools.
