This impactful TV spot was developed to celebrate the new corporate identity and inform growers in western Canada about the change. As Pioneer is one of the most iconic brands in agriculture (in Canada and globally), care was taken to ensure that we celebrated the pioneer brand while communicating the benefits that the new company brings to growers and other industry stakeholders.

The TV spot was executed as part of an integrated campaign, designed to raise awareness of Pioneer’s role within the new Corteva organization.
