Simply put, it’s a programme of fully integrated multi-brand shared grocery experiences from Grocery Gurus that brings together synergistic brands in a specific category or occasion based actual and virtual experiential, media/social and promotional event.
Our Together Is Better campaigns create provably greater and more cost-effective consumer impact, engagement and brand cut-through than other promotional activities – that’s why they’re better!

Having spent many years in UK grocery, we know what works and what doesn’t. We’ve been both sides of the fence, creating both award-wining brands and campaigns.
That’s why unlike the majority of agencies, Grocery Gurus is different! Not only are we marketing innovators, we’re also brand owners, a media platform and a multi award-winning marketing agency as well!
We also created and pioneered the Together Is Better market-leading discipline of shared grocery brand experiences!

Our Together Is Better campaigns include both live sampling RoadShows and virtual, gallery-style Experiential sampling. We believe this combination is the best way to maximise brand impact and engagement.
Live RoadShows
RoadShows are heavily sponsor branded, featuring a central prep & demo focus supported by individual sponsor branded pods and staffed by highly-trained, passionate, fun and experienced Brand Believers.
Virtual Experiential
Zoom-style gallery based, live-streamed virtual experiential with heavy sponsor branding, including a celebrity moderator and interactive consumer tasting panel. Includes live sampling and feedback plus coupon distribution.

Because it mirrors the way consumers actually shop, especially now that Covid has dramatically changed grocery shopping habits with a major increase in Home Delivery and Click & Collect as well as, paradoxically a move back towards larger weekly shops as well as convenience shopping.
These changes combined with rising consumer confidence, an increase in occasionality and a desire for greater inclusivity, product knowledge and comfort lay at the heart of our Together Is Better multi award-winning, multi-brand, multi-channel grocery campaigns.

Consumer lifestyles have changed becoming more home-centric with working from home becoming a norm and meaning that traditional methods of brand support are no longer enough. That’s why brands need to be bold, taking a more inclusive, contemporary approach.
Each of our Together Is Better campaigns consists of multi-channel promotional activity via a number integrated activational areas, such as live Roadshows, virtual streamed experiential Grocery Gratis Social-sampling, media. social & promotions which seamlessly interact to provide maximum impact & cut-through, as well as being environmentally friendly.
