Our task

Our original brief was to build a website that would act as SuperNutrio’s primary digital touchpoint. The website needed to function as a brochure-style platform, informing and educating supermarket buyers about the nutritional benefits of the brand’s high-protein milk, whilst also driving consumer demand to support SuperNutrio in securing listings.

As a new-to-market brand, SuperNutrio also faced the immediate challenge of building awareness and credibility in the highly competitive fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) category. As such, following the successful launch of the website, Tribus was appointed as the brand’s ongoing Digital Performance & Technical Marketing partner, providing technical expertise and campaign execution support. This included:

SEO implementation to ensure SuperNutrio could be discovered by consumers searching for high-protein and functional nutrition products across traditional and AI-search platforms.
Paid media campaigns to raise awareness, build brand recognition, and drive traffic to the new website.

Our approach

To prepare for the website build, we held scoping sessions in collaboration with SuperNutrio’s branding agencies to ensure the visual identity and messaging translated seamlessly into a digital environment. This laid the foundation for a strong, consistent brand presence online.

Tribus implemented technical targeting measures to ensure its success. From launch, we implemented advanced tracking. This allowed us to monitor user activity on the site and extract actionable insights on engagement. It also highlighted consumer supermarket preferences that we could share with SuperNutrio’s sales team to help focus and support their efforts.

Tribus helped SuperNutrio rise to the top of traditional organic search rankings and also appear within AI overviews and LLM-driven search results. Spotting trends such as the rising interest in nutritional information, we evolved our content roadmap to provide articles that built credibility and engagement with consumers.

To maximise reach and awareness, we activated paid campaigns across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and the Google Display Network (GDN). These channels were carefully selected to reach health-conscious consumers as well as a wider mainstream audience, driving traffic to the website and building brand recognition.

This combination of technical execution, future-proof SEO, and performance-led paid media gave SuperNutrio the ability to compete with the incumbent brands immediately, while laying a strong platform for sustainable long-term growth.

Where things developed

While the original brief focused on building a brochure-style website, Tribus’s discovery and optimisation process revealed opportunities to significantly enhance the digital experience and marketing outcomes. Additional business benefits included:

Sales insights

Using sophisticated tracking across the website, we uncovered detailed insights into user behaviour — including which pages visitors engaged with most and which supermarkets they wanted to see SuperNutrio stocked in next. These insights directly informed both digital strategy and the client’s wider retail sales conversations.

Stronger retail relationships

During our campaign, we evolved the website's ‘Shop Now’ page to serve users more proactively, directing them clearly to supermarkets where the product was available. This change delivered a measurable uplift in click-throughs to retailer partners, strengthening both consumer demand and SuperNutrio’s retail relationships.

AI SEO

Our comprehensive SEO program utilised industry-leading tools like Ahrefs as well as Tribus’s own bespoke LLM SEO programs. This dual approach allowed us to optimise not only for traditional search engines but also for AI-driven platforms like ChatGPT, ensuring visibility across the full search landscape.
