Connect restaurants with inspiration for bold food and beer pairings by leveraging McCain’s recipe expertise.

The Payoff
Pairings Work
Email blasts promoting pairings created spikes in website traffic with each wave. And in digital ads, the pairings call-to-action performed better than any other in driving click-through.
