Building on their domestic success, Bertolli wanted to expand their pasta sauce distribution to Canada. The opportunity for Bertolli to enter the category and introduce a premium line of Tuscan-inspired pasta sauces that would appeal to the Canadian foodie would take more than a great introductory price at the shelf. And it would involve pivoting the very functional US brand campaign for this more discerning Canadian target.
Solution
