On The Menu: Blame It On The Menu

On The Menu might just be the biggest brand you’ve never heard of. Recently acquired by Patties Food Group - the packaging, the brand, and the advertising were all over the place. And growth had slowed.

These came to life through a series of scenarios where… … … well I was going to finish writing this case study but that slow cooked lamb looks pretty good. I guess you can Blame It On The Menu.
