OVERVIEW

Rip Van is a food innovation company on a mission to improve people’s lives by creating better foods.

The company's innovation philosophy is to constantly improve its products by applying the latest food science research to push the bounds of health, taste, and design in their products. The company's flagship product, Rip Van Wafels is a better-for-you indulgent snack, available in 7 flavors, and is carried in 12,000 Starbucks locations nationwide.

The company was created by Rip and Marco in 2012 from their college dorm. The founders were frustrated with the unhealthy snack options that flooded the market. Their mission was to introduce a healthy yet delicious snack to the market "to improve people's lives by inventing better convenient foods.” Rip Van Wafels has successfully positioned itself on the shelves of major brands like Whole Foods, Starbucks, Peet's Coffee, Sprouts, Kroger, and many more.

THE CHALLENGE

Rip Van has been hugely successful at establishing a wholesale business. However, due to the unexpected turn of events from COVID-19, their wholesale sales were decreasing.

Because of this, they needed to launch a direct-to-consumer channel through their online store to acquire online customers.

Although they already had a well designed and well functioning online platform, they did not have significant transactions through this channel.

We had to strengthen their online presence by sending traffic to their site through a strategic digital marketing campaign to acquire customers.
