Case Study
Colorado Boxed Beef
Trade show activation to ignite a response
A collegiate culinary competition steals the (trade) show
The MissionAs a leader in protein distribution, Colorado Boxed Beef needed to elevate awareness for its proprietary brands, including High River Angus Beef and Diamond Reef Seafood Products. With multiple brands under one umbrella, the company faced the challenge of standing out in a crowded market while clearly communicating the unique value of each offering. At the same time, its annual customer trade event needed to evolve beyond a traditional booth presence, creating a more engaging experience that would capture attention, spark interest, and resonate with key buyers.

Approach
Experiential MarketingWe captured the attention of key buyers by bringing Colorado Boxed Beef’s proprietary products to life through a high energy culinary competition that showcased usage, taste, and versatility. Partnering with a local college reinforced the brand’s commitment to corporate citizenship while creating meaningful, hands-on opportunities for students, including scholarship awards. To extend the impact beyond the event, press outreach, video storytelling, and social media promotion increased awareness and engagement among prospective CBB customers.
