“Launching Fletcher’s Smoked Sausages we wanted to create a campaign that is as fun as the product is to eat,” says Kathy Whidden, Vice-President, Marketing, Sofina Foods which owns Fletcher’s. “We’re working with Rodney Bowers, who epitomizes the brand, and through the combination of media relations and a consumer contest we’re able to reach our target market on multiple levels.”
