QMS puts pork at the fore for Porktober
The consumer-facing campaign will feature digital adverts and website takeovers directing consumers to the ‘Make It Scotch’ website for easy-to-make and nutritious pork recipes. Specially Selected Pork will also be spotlighted across the Scotch Butcher’s Club with new marketing materials being provided by QMS for butchers to promote the brand throughout October.
