Snow Communications, Inc.

As part of its marketing program, Century Foods needed to be more aggressive with its outreach to customers. With the trade magazines being crowded with traditional advertising, Century Foods believed its paid messages were not enough to get through to its target audience and drive sales. Snow set out to make sure potential buyers realized the company’s full range of capabilities.
