Product Information

Sometimes we underestimate how difficult it is to create a distinctive asset and sometimes we believe we have a distinctive asset behind our brands, but actually in consumers’ minds it is not. They can’t associate that with your brand if they’re exposed to it. So, it takes a lot of investment and consistency. There might be times when you need to replace it, but you do it at your own peril.” When it comes to measuring effectiveness, the Premier Foods CMO describes himself as simultaneously taking a data-led approach, while also being aware of the limitations of data.

For us it’s mission critical. Innovation and brand building-led growth is at the core of our growth strategy as a company and our business model is we innovate, we invest in our brands, we deliver leading growth and part of that growth we reinvest into our brands,” Erceyes explains. This gravy type is high in salt, however, having 1.2g a serving like most gravy types, so we would suggest having it in moderation. Low Syn Alternatives To Mayflower Gravy At 3 syns for 100g, you could have up to 500g of mayflower gravywhen prepared before using all of your daily syn allowance, making it a great low syn gravy choice. Mayflower gravy is low in syns thanks to its low fat and sugar content, containing minimal oil. Unless there is a “massive strategic reason” to change a distinctive asset the Premier Foods CMO would not advise doing so, although he sees a wider trend in the FMCG sector to reposition far too often.To conclude, Gravy is slimming world friendly with homemade and instant gravy having between 0.5-3 syns a serving for 50ml. This makes it a great flavouring for meat and veggies when you want to keep a meal syn friendly. If you’re a very strict vegan who wishes to avoid all potential cross-contamination, then you should be aware that there is possible cross-contamination with milk products during the manufacture of vegetarian Bisto gravy. This is why Bisto cannot be labelled as vegan, even though many vegans would deem it safe to eat. To find out more about gravy and syns, we’ve put together a guide below which will take you through why gravy is low in syns, some syn values of gravy, how restaurant and instant gravy compare and recipes for making your own SW friendly gravy. Why Is Gravy Low In Syns? This time the togetherness theme shifts to shine a light on friendship and the role a Sunday roast plays in uniting a pair of friends from childhood to motherhood, concluding with the pals introducing their own daughters to the tradition of sharing mealtimes. Those types of use occasions and consumption you don’t see in our above the line campaigns because they need to show the most common use of the brand, but to drive reappraisal the best way we’ve found is via digital,” he explains.

Whilst no varieties of Bisto are labelled as vegan, those which are labelled as vegetarian are generally suitable for vegans too, as they have no non-vegan ingredients such as milk or eggs. Start by frying off your onion, carrot and celery, after around 10 minutes add in the other ingredients and a cup of boiling water then simmer for 20 minutes until the veggie becomes softened. When we did consumer research analysing what [happened] if we portrayed that togetherness by bringing friends together, we got some incredible reaction from our consumers and that was true during the pandemic. Although the work happened throughout the pandemic, there is some timelessness about bringing friends together and the importance of friends in your life.”Depending on whether you have gravy while eating out or homemade gravy, the syns will be different to the instant gravy. When we look at all our brand campaigns across the board and do the marketing mix modelling after the campaign period, we always see even the short-term return on investment is significantly ahead of industry benchmarks and averages,” says Erceyes. Innovation remains at the heart of the plans at Premier Foods. Erceyes considers innovation the only way to deliver long-term sustainable growth given the need to keep pace with consumer needs. He says the business spends a lot of time and resources on gaining insights from consumers, which translate into innovation. The campaign includes a partnership with Global Radio and represents Bisto’s biggest ever in-store Christmas activation, as well as a major TV push.

While this is a new execution, the ‘Aah Bisto’ tagline remains at the end of the ad, a core distinctive asset Erceyes insists the brand will never move away from. Having such a distinctive brand cue is not something he takes for granted, with Erceyes characterising such assets as the biggest drivers of effectiveness.Bisto gravy contains palm oil. Some vegans choose to avoid palm oil because unsustainable palm oil production causes deforestation. However, palm oil is in itself vegan and when it’s sustainably sourced it doesn’t have the same negative impact on the environment. Our objective is to keep driving that virtuous cycle. We were really successful doing it even three years prior to the pandemic. Obviously, the pandemic caused a huge boost in our business thanks to the fact we’ve been able to keep colleagues safe and our operations going.” E635 can be made from plants or animals. The E635 that Premier Foods use in Bisto is derived from a vegetable source and so it is suitable for vegans. The use of E635 is not a reason for vegans to avoid Bisto gravy.
