Peanut & pecan promotion in Spain: “We are NUTS about Texas!”

Introducing Texas Pecans and Peanuts to Spain

Our goal was clear: to create more awareness and long-term demand for Texas pecans and peanuts in Spain. In collaboration with Taste of America in Spain and The Cookie Lab, we designed an exciting four-month campaign showcasing the excellence of Texas AgriFood products.

This project was carried out for the Texas Department of Agriculture as part of their European promotion strategy.

Our recipe for success

The campaign was activated in around 10 The Cookie Lab stores throughout Spain from September to December 2023.

To achieve the objectives, we combined impactful online and offline marketing activities.

Offline

  • Press releases and communication with journalists
  • Press events
  • Eye-catching POS materials (roll-up banners, vinyl shop windows and floors, stickers, flyers, and displays)
  • Engaging show cooking and sampling events
  • An appealing, branded recipe book
  • Creation of unique, limited-edition bakery products

Online

  • Social media campaigns focusing on influencers and food enthusiasts
  • Dedicated landing page
  • Product sampling for key influencers and food bloggers 

Results & impact

Cookie lovers across Spain enjoyed limited-edition treats like Texas Pecan Pie Cookies and Peanut Butter Jelly Cookies. The recipes and engaging sampling events quickly captured attention, generating significant buzz online and in local media.

The campaign resulted in extensive media coverage, reaching thousands of Spanish consumers and significantly boosting brand awareness. The positive consumer response convinced Taste of America to permanently include Texas pecans in their product assortment.

Spain proved to be truly "nuts" about Texas pecans and peanuts, creating valuable long-term connections between Texas producers and Spanish consumers.

A creative and tasty result of bringing agrifood worlds together!
