The Project

Verde Farms is a mission-driven beef company dedicated to providing organic, 100% grass-fed, regeneratively raised, and humanely raised beef. With growing consumer demand for better-for-you products, Verde Farms wanted to:

  • Expand awareness in new markets.

  • Use influencer marketing to connect with health-conscious families and food lovers.

  • Support new market launches with strategic Meta advertising.

  • Develop in-person event and activation strategies to grow brand presence beyond digital.

  • Collaborate with food service partners and friendly brands for giveaways and engagement campaigns.


Our Role

Socially Inspired designed and executed a multi-faceted marketing strategy built around Verde’s business objectives:

  • Business Goal Alignment: We analyzed Verde Farms’ growth plans and created influencer programs to connect with prospective consumers in new and emerging markets.

  • Targeted Paid Media: We ran Meta ad campaigns to build brand visibility during market entry, focusing on cost-efficient reach and engagement.

  • Influencer & Partnership Marketing: We collaborated with food and lifestyle creators, plus Verde’s restaurant partners (like True Food Kitchen) and complementary brands, to amplify credibility and reach through giveaways and seasonal activations.

  • Content Strategy: Balanced storytelling across Meta, Instagram, Pinterest, and LinkedIn, highlighting differentiators (organic, 100% grass-fed, no antibiotics or added hormones, regenerative practices) while keeping the tone witty, approachable, and authentic.

  • Event & Activation Planning: Developed a roadmap for future in-person activations, co-branded food events, and experiential marketing to deepen consumer relationships.
