Smithfield Foods

Portfolio Pivot

Smithfield Foods has a robust portfolio of pork brands—leaders and challengers, national names and regional favorites, premium products and value lines. But years of competing on price alone had blurred their distinctions, weakening sales velocity, trust, and customer retention. To break the cycle, Smithfield partnered with Elevation to rebuild brand equity, drive interest, and forge deeper consumer connections across the portfolio—including Farmer John and Carando.
