Low Carbon Technologies (LCT), a division of Select Sires Inc., equips agricultural producers with science-based certifications and life cycle assessments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and unlock market premiums for verified sustainable practices. LCT has set a new industry standard as the first certification based on a USDA Process Verified Program for the reduction of net greenhouse gas emissions. Midan was tapped by LCT to create a certification seal designed to become a visual cue for consumers, allowing them to easily identify and confidently purchase food with verified low carbon footprints.

LCT leaned on Midan’s expertise to develop the brand framework, naming, and positioning platforms for a new brand seal. Along with conducting a competitive marketing analysis, we utilized our, Midan Consumer Segmentation 3.0 research, focusing on the “Sustainability Enthusiast” target information.

Based on these insights and strategy, Midan developed the brand story, brand seal and guided LCT through the beginning of the FSIS approval process. And of course, the messaging and creative was tested with real consumers along the way, ensuring the seal resonated with the right audience.

 

Leveraging consumer research, we developed the “Certified Sustainable” seal name, which debuted in the beef category. The claim was designed to easily expand to broader food categories, serving as the most recognizable mark of sustainability.
