JEKBEE & John West - Case Study

CASE STUDIES
JEKBEE X John West

ANGLING FOR A NEW CUSTOMER BASE

REVAMPED DIGITAL STRATEGY REELED IN NEW HEALTH-CONSCIOUS CUSTOMERS.

WHAT WE DID

  • THE BRIEF

    For more than a century, John West has been synonymous with seafood excellence. In recent years though, a waning interest in canned fish, compounded by increasingly aggressive competitors – in and out of category – all seeking to capitalise on a more health-conscious population, has contributed to a decline in market share. JEKBEE was tasked with making John West the go-to protein source for people everywhere.

  • OUR APPROACH

    Reposition John West from ‘canned commodity’ to ’nutrition brand’. This involved major cross-departmental coordination, with our team breathing new life into a business model and mindset incompatible with the digital age. From the look and feel of the website, through to a complete strategic overhaul, JEKBEE was able to successfully put the new face of John West in front of a new audience, while yielding a healthy financial return.

FROM THE MOMENT THAT WE ENGAGED WITH JEKBEE, WE KNEW THE AGENCY WAS DIFFERENT. AS A PARTNERSHIP, WE FELT THAT WE WERE ALL ON ONE TEAM, FIGHTING FOR THE SAME OBJECTIVE — TO DRIVE THE GROWTH OF JOHN WEST IN A SUSTAINABLE WAY. THEY CONSISTENTLY BRING FANTASTIC IDEAS TO THE TABLE; CHALLENGE US TO DO BETTER; AND ALWAYS EXCEED OUR EXPECTATIONS IN TERMS OF RESULTS. WE TRUST THAT EVERY CREATIVE IDEA OR STRATEGIC TWEAK IS WITH OUR BEST INTERESTS AND GOALS AT HEART. THEIR DIRECTOR-LEVEL SUPPORT, CLIENT-SERVICING, AND HOLISTIC, CUSTOMER-FIRST APPROACH TO MARKETING IS SECOND TO NONE AND I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO RECOMMEND JEKBEE.
