French frozen food market leader Picard is looking to enhance the expertise of its recipe development teams and embody digital. It's the start-up Ekoo that's helping it achieve this, thanks to audio testimonials. We tell you all about it.

Why is Picard adopting audio in its digital strategy?

The Picard brand wanted to embody its website and promote its teams by telling the secrets behind its recipes. The Picard teams have been working for over 1 year on their recipes, particularly those concocted especially for the Christmas season. Some of them, moreover, require specific know-how. Picard wants to share this with its customers.

Embodying digital through audio

Our chefs are true enthusiasts and culinary experts. They work for an entire year to come up with gourmet recipes for the holidays. So they're in the best position to speak out and reveal the secrets of their own recipes to customers. In their audio testimonials, they tell their authentic stories:

  • Flavours and aromas
  • Consumption methods
  • Texture play
  • Culinary techniques
  • ...

What's more, Picard wants to test a solution that meets new customer needs: audio. If you don't know, you should know that audio is this year's digital trend! Internet users don't read anymore.

In May 2022, the Picard brand overhauled its Picard&Nous loyalty program. The program is comprehensive, generous and close to customers. That's why the brand wanted to give a voice to David Gosse, its Customer Marketing Manager, so that he could describe and embody every feature of the project he himself implemented. The Ekoo solution perfectly complements this desire to be close to customers, since the man at the head of the project speaks directly to them.

On the page dedicated to the Picard&Nous loyalty program, you'll find 4 audio widgets in the Picard colors. Each of these testimonials explains a feature of the loyalty program:

  • Program benefits
  • How do I register?
  • How do I collect points?
  • How can I use my points?
