Ryvita

The Ryvita Company was established in Poole, Dorset in 1925, where it continues to mill its own rye flour, sourced from British farms. Over the last 86 years, the Ryvita brand has grown to 14 different varieties from Crispbreads and Crackerbreads which are perfect for lunch with indulgent toppings to Minis and Thins, great for snacking on. Iconic Ryvita advertising has been a regular feature of commercial television stations, featuring stars as diverse as Julie Andrews and Howard’s Way star, Jan Harvey.

Wild Card’s PR strategy for Ryvita is to reposition the product - in all its variants - as tasty, sociable and versatile; ideal for a variety of meal and snacking occasions. Highly effective partnerships have been established with relevant personalities and key opinion formers, including top TV chef Valentine Warner and cheese expert Juliet Harbutt. These relationships have been utilised to support NPD, build brand advocacy and inspire trial, overturning perceptions of the brand as purely a ‘diet food.’
