Turkey Farmers of Canada Launches National Think Turkey Campaign

Turkey Farmers of Canada, a national organization representing Canada’s 500+ turkey farmers, the Canadian Poultry and Egg Processors Council, Turkey Primary Processing Sector Members, have together launched Think TurkeyTM / Pensez DindonMC the first national, bilingual campaign to boost turkey consumption since 2004

The five-year, fully integrated program, which includes advertising, digital, experiential, PR, influencer, paid social and more will focus on engaging primary meal planners to raise awareness of the benefits of turkey, drive year-round demand and increase overall consumption and retail availability.

“Turkey is one of the most versatile proteins that easily fits into Canadians’ diverse diets, dishes and everyday occasions,” said Darren Ference, Chair of Turkey Farmers of Canada. “Over the next five years, we’re on an exciting mission to grow turkey’s share of plate, shift perceptions and show Canadians that turkey is a delicious, everyday choice to feed their families – and one that supports our local farmers.”
