Robin Hood
"Robin Hood Flour"
Leo Burnett Toronto
When Canada went into lockdown in early 2020, Canadians took up baking like never before. And while Robin Hood had plenty of product on reserve, a baking craze combined with the country stockpiling staple ingredients saw a sudden surge in demand for four at the same time COVID-19 safety protocols were slowing down its packaging production.

So Robin Hood worked with Leo Burnett to get Canadians the four they needed faster by removing its yellow pack from circulation and replacing it with a brown paper bag branded with a simple stamp. In doing so, the brand was able to skip multiple steps of its packaging production process and quickly get four back onto shelves.

The pivot received coverage from news outlets from the CBC to ABC. It also led to a 1,100% increase in positive brand mentions, with Robin Hood saving the day and getting four to Canadians up to two months sooner than expected.
