USMEF Campaign Increasing U.S. Beef Awareness Kicks Off
High quality, affordable U.S. beef took center stage in Guatemala today (June 8), as USMEF held a media conference to kick off a three month marketing campaign to heighten consumer awareness and excitement about U.S. beef.
With a population of over 11 million, Guatemala is the largest country in Central America. And as the standard of living increases, foodservice and tourism are expanding to create new opportunities for American goods, such as U.S. beef.
“This consumer awareness campaign is the final part of a four-phase program USMEF developed to make high quality, grain fed U.S. beef affordable for Guatemalan consumers,” Ricardo Vernazza-Paganini, USMEF director of Central and South America, told newspaper and television reporters at the five-star Intercontinental Hotel in Guatemala City.
The media conference was opened by Steve Huete, USDA agricultural counselor for Guatemala, and included representatives from the importing company participating in the USMEF plan.
Additional media coverage includes television advertisements featuring a popular cooking show chef talking about U.S. beef cuts and dishes and news releases on activities issued to the media each week to continue generating excitement.
Billboards, posters and menu inserts, as well as U.S. beef samplings in participating restaurants, further help draw consumer attention to U.S. beef items.
