About the Home City Ice and Brandience Partnership
Home City Ice selected Brandience for our ability to combine data-driven media strategy with creative storytelling to elevate Home City Ice’s brand presence and deliver measurable results. “We’re excited to contribute to the marketing journey for Home City Ice and build on to the enormous legacy they’ve created.” said Brian McHale, Chief Executive Officer of Brandience. “This campaign we’ve developed is designed to uncover what’s possible”.
Home City Ice has traditionally relied on grocery and retail distribution channels to grow its business, rather than a direct-to-consumer approach. “Partnering with Brandience gives us the opportunity to drive incremental sales for our retailers and deepen our connection with consumers,” said Chris Hickok, Chief Information Officer at Home City Ice. A proprietary process allows Home City Ice to freeze water in motion resulting in the purest, clearest ice that not only lasts longer than other packaged ice but helps reduce impurities like toxins or bacteria.
