Fruitnet’s Chris White speaks to CarrieAnn Arias, president and CEO of USA Pears, to explore how a major fresh produce brand can reposition itself and appeal to a new generation of consumers.

The conversation explores the launch of a new logo and visual identity for what is an almost century-old marketing organisation, focusing on the need for better readability and relevance in a modern, online world, but retaining the group’s rich heritage.

And they address a key challenge: declining pear consumption among younger consumers. What needs to change when it comes to marketing pears to Gen Z? And where do the new commercial opportunities lie?
