  • Supervalu: How a Brave Local Brand Defied the Forces of Globalisation
    SuperValu: How a brave local brand defied the forces of globalisation DDFH&B COMPANY PROFILE AGENCY The DDFH&B Group consists of DDFH&B Advertising, Goosebump, The Reputations Agency, RMG and Mindshare Media – making it one of the largest Irish companies in creative advertising, media buying and customer relationship/digital marketing. Together, they provide channel-neutral, integrated marketing communications campaigns that deliver real, measurable results. They achieve this level of integration by working in a number of small, multi-disciplined teams, calling it ‘fun sizing’. They continue to be one of the most successful agencies in Ireland, working with clients such as Kerry Foods, SuperValu, The National Lottery, eir, Littlewoods, Lucozade and Molson Coors. CLIENT AWARD LONG TERM EFFECTIVENESS Sponsored by GOLD 1 SuperValu: How a brave local brand defied the forces of globalisation DDFH&B INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND This is a story about long term effectiveness. It is a story about how a brave local retailer with daring ambition wrestled back leadership from Tesco and defied the forces of globalisation. SuperValu was founded in 1979 with a base of just 16 stores, mainly in Munster. While they had grown to 182 stores by 2004, and acquired Superquinn (another Irish retailer) in 2011, they were a retailer with two speeds, an urban speed and a rural speed. The urban speed was still reeling from the Superquinn takeover, when stores were rebranded to SuperValu in 2014. Superquinn had a more premium brand perception, much closer to the Waitrose proposition in the UK. Consumers were in a state of chassis as they felt they were paying convenience store prices in large supermarkets and were unfamiliar with the brand and mistrustful of its quality.
