Northlich is a big believer in Show and Tell. Maybe it’s because we love our work so much it makes us feel like we’re back in kindergarten again. Or maybe it’s because we believe that showing something to our audience is 1,000 times more powerful than telling them about it.
So instead of prattling on about rehavior and what it means to us, and you, we thought we’d show it to you—in action:
When international frozen foods giant Birds Eye first came to Northlich, they were dealing with consumer behavior that was holding back the brand: Consumers didn’t love frozen vegetables anymore, and didn’t want to buy them. They wanted something more. Northlich helped Birds Eye meet consumers where they were at, acknowledging that their behavior had changed and the brand had to change with it. The result was new brand positioning that killed the “old-fashioned” frozen vegetable perception, advertising that presented the brand as a fresh and contemporary celebration of today’s real families, and a product innovation—Steamfresh—that exceeded sales goals and consumer expectations.
CONSUMER RESPONSE
By launching Steamfresh, Birds Eye generated 200 percent in sales over three years and overtook Green Giant as the #1 brand in the category. Meanwhile, Steamfresh was named the second most successful product launch of the year by Ad Age.
But what does this have to do with Rehavior®? Northich helped Birds Eye take an existing behavior—consumers don’t love frozen vegetables anymore—and turn it upside down (or, rather, right side up). The new behavior? Consumers fell in love with frozen vegetables again, and started buying them like crazy.

The other day, it occurred to me that maybe I’m not as unique as I’d like to think. That’s what usually happens when you read research that reminds you that your habits and desires are on par with everyone else’s, the American majority. [...]
Walking into St. Francis in Topeka for the first time, I was struck by a few things. First, their competition is literally right across the street. And it looked newer, bigger, and shinier. Not that that matters, but perception does. [...]
Oh, those inspiring words we repeat every January. I say them. Most of us do. The real question is how many of us keep them? I’m talking 12 months, not a few devoted weeks. I recently read that 90% of us fail. What an astounding stat! One that got my attention and inspired this thought, “how do we change that number?” [...]
