The Challenge

ingredients PLUS had a strong operational backbone—fully owned trucking fleet, regional reach, and food-grade processing—but lacked a brand and digital presence that reflected its strengths. The company was still seen as a commodity supplier, with outdated tools and no unified story. To reach new customers, rally internal teams, and differentiate in a saturated space, the business needed a full transformation.

Ingredients PLUS also faced a challenge shared by many logistics-driven companies: attracting qualified drivers in a highly competitive labor market. Their employer brand was largely invisible online, limiting their reach and ability to showcase culture and differentiation.
