Betty Crocker

Baked-in goodness

General Mills, well known for feeding families for nearly 75 years, stands for homemade goodness. This is particularly true of its baking products line, Betty Crocker. The indelible character, Betty Crocker, had originally been developed as a spokesperson for its baking products contests and recipe promotions. This marketing tool was extremely well received, yet underutilized.
