What went wrong

A dog-food company spent millions to reformulate its dog food.  They spent lavishly.  They hired the best marketing person, the top PR firm, the best ad agency, the No. 1 packaging expert, the most powerful distributor.  Huge sums were spent on a slick advertising campaign to promote the “supposedly” new and better product. 

Despite the best work, sales plummeted.

In desperation, the normally know-it-all corporate leadership finally asked its retailers: “What went wrong?”

The answer from the retailers: “The dogs won’t eat it.”
