Welch's to Health
In 2008, VIA set out to develop a compelling campaign that would position Welch’s as more than just a juice brand—it would be a symbol of health and vitality. Through a strategic blend of creativity and messaging, the “Welch’s To Health” campaign not only resonated with consumers but also secured the Welch’s account for VIA. Running from 2008 to 2011, this campaign successfully reinforced Welch’s commitment to wellness and balance.
The campaign was centered around the concord grape, Welch’s signature ingredient, as a visual and symbolic representation of health. Through bold, minimalist executions, we used the grape to form three powerful symbols. The campaign showed an Exclamation Mark – Representing excitement and the bold health benefits of Welch’s products; A Heart – Signifying heart health, a key benefit of Welch’s grape juice, rich in antioxidants and polyphenols; A Yin-Yang Symbol – Communicating balance and overall well-being, reinforcing Welch’s role in a healthy lifestyle. Each execution was designed to seamlessly integrate into print, digital, and in-store activations, ensuring a consistent and memorable brand identity.

This simple yet powerful tagline “Welch's to Health” became the anchor of the campaign, reinforcing Welch’s positioning as a health-conscious brand. The phrasing created a natural toast to wellness, inviting consumers to celebrate healthy choices with Welch’s.

Following the success of the initial “Welch’s To Health” campaign, VIA launched a second phase to amplify the message and deepen consumer engagement. This phase introduced Alton Brown as the campaign’s spokesperson, leveraging his credibility as the host of Good Eats to educate consumers about the power of polyphenols—a key antioxidant found in Welch’s Grape Juice. Through a strategic mix of print, out-of-home (OOH), and television spots, the campaign reinforced Welch’s as a leader in heart health and overall wellness.
By blending science, credibility, and creative storytelling, Phase 2 of the “Welch’s To Health” campaign successfully deepened consumer trust and reinforced Welch’s as a leader in heart health. With Alton Brown as the face of the campaign, Welch’s effectively connected with audiences in an engaging, educational, and memorable way.
