Hunt’s Great Recipe Hunt

The Challenge

In 1989 Beatrice/Hunt-Wesson, Inc. wanted to encourage the use of Hunt’s products in new recipes.

Finalist dishes in the New York Finals.

The Solution

Marden-Kane administered and supervised the “Great Recipe Hunt” recipe contest, coordinating all details for a final “cook-off” event held in four major U.S. Cities. MK scouted hotel locations, oversaw the ordering, procurement and set-up for each cook-off location. We rented generators, miles of electrical cords, stoves, cookware, utensils, aprons, banners and of course flowers and balloons!

St Louis Finals — taste testing is about to begin!

The Results

Consumers responded enthusiastically with thousands of new recipes using Hunt’s products.
