Since October 2017, QS has successfully launched Gay Lea’s Instagram profile to be one of the most active channels for the brand. With almost 2,000 followers (primarily in the 25-34 year old demographic) and a highly active community, QS has increased Gay Lea’s brand awareness by over 200,000 monthly impressions via up to 30 original pieces of content per month.
“The past year was a successful, record-setting year for our co-operative and we look forward to the year ahead as we continue to drive our co-operative forward through research and development, leading edge technologies, and innovative products favoured by consumers in households across Canada.”
