Turning Torani into a sauce boss
For nearly 100 years and 150+ syrups, Torani has been bringing people to the table with delicious flavors for coffees, cocktails, confectionaries, and more. Ever looking towards the future, Torani decided it was time to reinvent itself in a way that would help define its next 100 years.
Ever conscious of consumer needs, Torani uncovered an unanswered desire for sauces made from natural sources—and its Puremade Sauce product line was born.
Markforged is a Boston-based additive manufacturing company that designs, develops, and manufactures industrial-strength 3D printers, software, and materials.
The company had an aggressive hiring goal: to double in size by 2021. We were asked to create a multi-pronged recruitment strategy to help build awareness and generate interest within the Boston tech community — including college students — for short- and long-term talent recruitment.

We worked alongside Torani on its first-ever Puremade campaign. Our overarching goal was customer acquisition, and, since this was such a big swing for Torani to make, we knew this campaign would require fresh thinking. So we put on our startup hats and went to work on a strategy for winning over new Puremade Sauce customers, without alienating loyalists or denigrating past product lines.
What gives Puremade Sauces an edge over competitors? It’s real. Made and produced from real and clean ingredients, without any artificial anything. A claim Torani’s competitors can’t make.
Leaning into the integrity of Puremade Sauce’s ingredients and processes, we crafted a creative platform leveling up to the promise consumers most desired—a product made from real, clean ingredients. This promise led us to frame Puremade Sauces using heroic imagery and language personifying the integrity of the natural ingredients and clean processes used to make Torani’s Puremade Sauce line.
Ready State led in-studio photo and video shoots that displayed the product behind clean backgrounds and alongside the natural ingredients that Puremade Sauces are made from.
The result? A stand-up sauce for stand-out drinks.

The target audiences for this campaign were everyday consumers and foodservice industry partners. Winning these audiences over meant convincing them to purchase Puremade Sauces wherever they shopped; whether it was online or in-store.
Our assets were used in print, display, social, and email campaigns targeting and imploring audiences to try Torani’s new stand-up Puremade Sauces.
The impact of our campaign was physically noticeable. After launch, Puremade Sauces flew off shelves faster than Torani could restock them—outpacing its primary sauce competitor at a rate of 2-1.
We worked closely with Ad Council and Love Has No Labels to extend the PSA video into a campaign that adapts to different media formats. The full page newspaper ad placements pull direct quotes from the individuals in the video to tell their stories boldly in print.
