The campaign, which encourages consumers to eat seafood twice a week, will be on full display at 1,375 Publix stores and 270 Harris Teeter locations throughout the southeastern and mid-Atlantic regions.“The eye-catching imagery will compel consumers to ‘Fall in Love with Seafood’ and to take advantage of the health benefits seafood offers along with a myriad of delicious species and recipe options,” said Linda Cornish, Founder and President at Seafood Nutrition Partnership. The general aim is to boost seafood consumption along with providing a “strong return-on-investment for the suppliers, brands, and retailers supporting the campaign.” So far, that has been a success, as according to the SNP, the campaign has generated an average of $4 for every $1 invested in marketing.“The strategy is to reach current seafood consumers in retail partner markets throughout their day to remind them how delicious, nutritious, and easy-to-prepare seafood can be. The plan spans social and digital media including paid search, META ads, programmatic, and recipe integration as well as out-of-home, influencer, in-store flyers, in-store signage, and promotions.” added Sarah Crowley, SNP Vice President of Marketing and Communications.“We are excited to bring this consumer campaign to market during National Seafood Month,” said Guy Pizzuti, Seafood Director at Publix Super Markets, Inc. “We are proud to highlight seafood and messages that resonate with our customers. Through the collaboration with SNP and our suppliers, we believe we will grow the category and gain valuable learnings for future campaigns.”Due to the strong start in 2024, SNP said the campaign will go nationwide next year. H-E-B will repeat and expand their successful 2024 campaign in January 2025, as well as planned Q1 efforts at Stop & Shop and Harris Teeter. https://www.seafoodnews.com/Story/1285510/Seafood-Nutrition-Partnership-Scaling-Fall-In-Love-With-Seafood-Campaign-to-More-Retailers Federal Register Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Reallocation of Pacific Cod in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area A Rule by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on 09/16/2024 NMFS is reallocating the projected unused amount of Pacific cod from American Fisheries Act (AFA) catcher/processor vessels to Amendment 80 vessels in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area.
