CPG & Food/Bev Case Study
Rav & Co

Dominating CPG Awareness with Taste.

How Street Poller Media utilized viral street polling and blind taste tests to proof product superiority, generate 2M+ views, and achieve a 4.8X ROAS.

The Challenge.

Rav & Co built an incredible CPG product, but struggled to stand out in a crowded market. Standard food photography and influencer shoutouts weren't moving the needle on ROAS.

  • Low brand awareness in a hyper-competitive niche
  • Need to prove taste and quality over incumbents
  • CPA was too high for a physical CPG product

Our Strategy.

We let the public do the selling. We ran blind taste tests against the leading "big brand" competitors to provide undeniable proof.

01

The Blind Reveal

We had strangers choose between Rav & Co and a major competitor, capturing the shock when they picked us.

02

Tactile Excitement

We focused on the close-up shots of people enjoying the product, making it feel "as seen on TV" but authentic.

03

Whitelisting Strategy

We ran the winning clips through creator profiles to borrow trust and lower CPMs.

Key Takeaways

1

Comparison Wins.

In CPG, people need a benchmark. Showing a win over an incumbent is the fastest way to trust.

2

The First Reaction.

The capture of the "genuine first bite/sip" is the most valuable frame in a food/bev ad.

3

Authenticity > Polish.

High-quality equipment used in a "raw" street setting creates a premium but relatable aesthetic.

We knew we had a better product, but we couldn't prove it. Street Poller proved it in 5 days. Our ROAS tripled, and we finally have a creative format that works consistently.
