IMPACT AT A GLANCE
Sello Rojo is more than just a coffee; it is the number one coffee brand in Colombia, with a 90-year history and a strong, rich, and velvety taste. Owned by the Colombian company Grupo Nutresa, Sello Rojo brings the vibrant spirit of Colombian coffee culture to the United States, encouraging people to “live boldly” with every cup of its 100% Latin American coffee.
We sat down with Annalise Iwen, Shopper Marketing Associate for both Cameron’s Coffee and Sello Rojo, and Eduardo Merino, Director of Sales and Marketing for the multicultural markets, who is entirely dedicated to developing the Sello Rojo brand in the US. They shared how they partnered with Social Nature to expand their presence and connect with new consumers.

Annalise: I would say the biggest impact is probably for me internally of just being able to put data points behind like this is what we’re seeing. Brand awareness is like our biggest area that we need to improve and really, honestly, writing that story of what we thought that it was but being able to like really speak to it via data points so that we can really build out a robust plan that makes sense for this specific product since we haven’t launched something like this at Cameron’s before in the US. So that was probably the most beneficial thing to me.
Eduardo: Yes, first of all, brand awareness. I was amazed to see the data points new to brand. That’s exactly what we wanted to know, right? We wanted to bring new eyeballs to our brand. so definitely Social Nature helped us drive awareness. And then more on the competitive side, one thing that helped us out as we go into strategy and planning – where do we position ourselves, how distinct could we become from a pricing standpoint to what strategic pricing decisions we need to make. So that was very helpful because it just shows us the interaction of our brand, our product with other products in the coffee segment.
