Heartland Catfish Company

Year

2021

Heartland Catfish Company is a major player in the U.S. seafood industry, known for its commitment to quality, innovation, and family values. To celebrate the company’s 25th anniversary, the brand needed a milestone story that honored its roots while reinforcing the values that continue to guide its growth.

My work focused on creating a commemorative anniversary identity, video, and campaign extension — including a landing page and social ads — that spotlighted the farm, family legacy, people, and brand story behind Heartland Catfish.

The Challenge

The anniversary needed to feel celebratory without becoming overly promotional. Heartland Catfish has a strong story rooted in family, farming, quality, and community, so the creative needed to feel authentic, grounded, and emotionally connected to the brand.

The challenge was to bring that story to life in a way that honored the company’s history while supporting its continued visibility in retail and consumer markets.

Execution

I developed anniversary creative that combined brand storytelling, motion, and campaign design, extended across a dedicated campaign landing page and paid social ads. The video was designed to feel warm, credible, and consumer-facing, with the landing page built to host the video and extend the anniversary story online, while social ads drove awareness and traffic back to the campaign.

Together, the work elevated the brand beyond product promotion, helping audiences connect with the people and purpose behind Heartland Catfish.
