The Twin Cities also emerged as the raspberry consumption capital of the U.S., with families enjoying 132 percent more fresh raspberries per household than the national average annually.
Consumers within these top 10 berry-loving markets, including Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Buffalo/Rochester, Denver, and New York City among others, consume nearly 400 million pounds of fresh berries, or more than 25 percent of America’s total berry consumption.
In celebration of the numbers, Driscoll’s is launching #BerryTogether, a nationwide campaign to engage berry lovers across these top 10 markets. The Driscoll’s #BerryTogether campaign features an integrated approach of combining live, in-person experiences with digital extensions that inspire bringing people together. Highlights include:
- #BerryTogether Live Experience in Twin Cities: The campaign kicks off in the raspberry-devout Twin Cities highlighted by a 3D experiential art installation that requires people to come together to receive a berry reward. The concept of the installation supports the notion that berries are better when shared together. Footage capturing authentic interactions with the 3D installation can be viewed on Driscolls.com/berrytogether.
- #BerryTogether Social Campaign: To encourage communal berry moments nationwide, Driscoll’s is hosting a national #BerryTogether sweepstakes showcasing photos of favorite berry moments with family and friends. To enter, simply share photos of favorite every day berry occasions on Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #BerryTogether for a chance to win a family vacation to California to create more delicious memories. Berry lovers everywhere can view entries and photos through the ongoing hashtag #BerryTogether on social media.
