Project Spotlight: Sun-Bird Walmart Activation

March 19, 2026

As the agency of record for C.H. Guenther, Phase 3 has partnered across a range of campaigns to support the continued growth of the Sun-Bird brand. But when performance at Walmart began to lag, this initiative called for a more focused, situational approach—one built specifically around influencing shoppers at the point of purchase through our paid media and integrated marketing approach.

Turning Proximity into Performance   

 

Rather than broad awareness tactics, Phase 3 developed a geofencing strategy targeting specific Walmart locations—reaching consumers in real time as they entered the store environment. The goal was simple: shift from passive engagement to active purchase intent, delivering messaging when and where it mattered most.

To amplify impact, we extended the campaign through social and influencer strategy. Content was intentionally aligned to the in-store moment—leveraging recipe inspiration, Walmart callouts, and clear purchase cues to guide shoppers from awareness to action. Every channel worked together to reinforce the same behavior: pick up a Sun-Bird seasoning packet in-store.
