Consumer Advertising
The Beef Checkoff Program’s “Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner” campaign currently features a consumer-advertising campaign focused on the naturally nutrient-rich qualities of lean beef, under the theme “Experience the Power of Protein in the Land of Lean Beef.” The campaign includes radio ads voiced by a popular young actor, and a “Powerful Beefscapes” print campaign.
- It’s What’s For Dinner – The beef checkoff’s “Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner” campaign began its journey saturating television, print and radio in 1992. Since then, it has made “Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner” one of the most recognizable taglines in advertising history, with 88 percent of Americans recognizing it instantly. For more information about the history and accomplishments of the campaign, go to Beef Checkoff Advertising.
- Powerful Beefscapes – In its first year, the current checkoff’s “Powerful Beefscapes” campaign reached 89.7 percent of the consumer target an average of 16.3 times. Print ads appeared in 35 national magazines a total of 143 times; radio advertising ran on about 14,000 radio stations; and media negotiations garnered $2.7 million in earned/bonus media space at no additional cost to beef producers!
