Hydration and Strength: Promoting Milk’s Benefits with NIL influencers

The Partner

The Dairy Alliance is a nonprofit funded by dairy farm families of the Southeast. They work with dairy farmers, schools, sports teams, health professionals, local organizations, state leaders, the media, and the public to promote dairy foods and spread knowledge about the dairy industry. The Dairy Alliance provides consumers of all ages with nutritional information, dairy industry news, research, and recipes to encourage a healthy lifestyle that includes three servings of milk, cheese, or yogurt each day. We worked with The Dairy Alliance for several years, collaborating on multiple campaigns to enhance their brand presence and connect with diverse audiences.

Opportunity

With increased competition from alternative and emerging products in the beverage category, The Dairy Alliance needed a way to connect to household managers and younger audiences to promote the nutritional value of milk through hydration and strength.

Approach

The strategy hinged on the original concept of the “Milk Bowl,” building on the existing SEC football rivalry between UGA and UT. By selecting collegiate athletes Ladd McConkey and Joe Milton, we were able to use their Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) to personalize milk advocacy and resonate with Georgia and Tennessee fans. The multi-pronged approach included:
  • Organic social media engagement
  • Digital out-of-home (OOH)
  • Instagram ads
  • Radio
  • Local broadcast
  • Streaming
This diverse media mix ensured a robust presence across all customer touchpoints.

The primary messaging around milk’s benefits like hydration and strength contributed to the campaign’s success! Key results included 114 million impressions and 621,000 engagements with nearly 100% positive sentiment.
