In just one year, Ketchum and Iceland Foods formed a partnership focused on shared values and being a force for good. The highlight of this collaboration is the Iceland Food Club, a program that offers interest-free microloans to address short-term food insecurity. The PR team, and its partners Fair For You and Think Communications secured extensive media coverage, generating 1.6 billion impressions and earning praise from Bloomberg UK. Within the first week, over 50,000 Iceland customers applied to the Food Club, and daily loan applications now average 4,000. The campaign received global recognition, winning a coveted Gold Lion in Creative Commerce and three additional awards at Cannes. With over 1,600 entries, being among the 10% of shortlisted campaigns is a remarkable achievement. Richard Walker, Executive Chairman at Iceland Foods, acknowledges Ketchum’s instrumental role in their success, emphasizing the importance of the ongoing partnership in furthering their CSR commitments.
