CARGILL DAIRY MAX:
Turning Complexity into Conversation

CHALLENGE:
MAX™ is a powerful dairy nutrition tool — but awareness was low, and explaining it felt complicated. We didn’t just need to market software. We needed to make MAX talk-worthy.

BIG IDEA:
Give MAX a persona.
By humanizing the platform, consultants weren’t selling software — they were introducing MAX, the trusted partner in maximizing producer performance.

IMPACT:

  • 1M+ print and digital impressions

  • DFCs nationwide leveraging the MAX persona to start conversations and close deals

  • Stories from the field translating into leads, deeper engagements, and expanded services

  • Unified internal alignment and external buzz — all from one cohesive campaign
