Lance's new overall marketing strategy forgoes traditional media in favor of the greater targeting and brand-advocacy-building capabilities digital provides, according to Tom Ingram, senior brand director at parent company Snyder's-Lance Inc. and Sloane Kelley, interactive strategy director at BFG, Lance’s creative agency.
The company is focusing on leveraging digital and social media to engage mothers with fun activities to share with their children. To that end, Lance's website and Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest pages have all been relaunched to reflect the new strategy.
