A tough boss
Article Abstract:
National Foods, a Con-Agra-owned company, is promoting its Hebrew National kosher hotdogs beyond its traditional markets through the efforts of its president and CEO Steve Silk. The brand's slogan 'We answer to a higher authority,' which was launched in 1976, expresses a commitment to quality that transcends business considerations. The company has dealt with Grey Advertising to produce an advertisement that was friendlier but still maintains the benefits of kosher-equaling taste and quality. As part of efforts to create brand distinction, National Foods has worked with the Coleman Group to redesign packaging. The Coleman Group created a design that keeps the well-known monument logomark and its 'kitchy-ness' while expressing a sense of authenticity and comfort.
