Mr. Tender

Love me tender.

Nobody likes tough meat. But the dilemma is that nobody knows whether one cut of meat is more or less tough than another. A USDA Certified Tender designation, awarded exclusively to SpartanNash’s Tender Ridge Angus product line, changes the equation, and gives shoppers a guarantee that they’ll never choose a tough piece of meat again. To tell the story in a way that sidestepped the usual raw meat visuals, we created Mr. Tender for tv and internet, and further spread the good news through an aggressive outdoor buy.
