Situation

A national CPG company had split a heritage brand into two. The site was two. The feed was still one, louder, with retailer co-op posts that used the retired lockup. Paid was buying both names into the same confusion.

Selected work of the practice. Not a named food, beverage, or household company.

Work

  • Diagnose: which claims belonged to which brand, where retailer posts could never ship, which assets were legally dead.
  • Build: two editorial systems, one calendar, a stop rule for co-op. Modules a brand team could run without a studio.
  • Run: weekly editorial. Incident language for the day a retailer posted the old pack. Paid forbidden from covering a missing week.
  • Hand back: voice rules per brand, a claims list, a calendar. Retailer guidelines written so sales could say no.

What changed

  • Two voices held without collapsing. Off-claim posts −31% in 90 days.
  • Social-assisted sell-in +11% in two quarters once the feed matched the pack.
  • Retailer co-op stopped using the retired lockup.

Also: Meta + TikTok. Retailer pages on a kill list.

The split was a legal event. She made it a feed.
