Trust the Label: a truly organic approach

Occasionally, someone says something so marvellously memorable that you immediately feel the need to write it down. It might be especially clever, or authentic, or perfectly summarizes what you’re trying to say. And sometimes, it’s all the above.

That’s exactly what happened the first time we heard Master Chef Chris Velden say the words, “Trust the label, it’s coming from Nova Scotia, it stands for something.”

His words completely captured what we were trying to share with the world. Nova Scotia food and beverage products and producers are continuously gaining international recognition for quality and reliability.

While it may have originated as an unscripted remark from a chef during a video shoot, “Trust the Label” is now the driving force behind our Nova Scotia food and beverage campaigns. And when you consider the source and the subject matter, we can’t help but think the organic approach and sentiment of “Trust the Label” is perfectly on brand.
