Savor Europe Campaign, apart from the information point, hosted a discussion panel focused on the European meat and organized a series of individual meetings with the media.
Our campaign is based on the key exceptional qualities of the European beef – high quality, safe products, strict production norms, and honest cooperation. Following these standards, during the second day of the Fair we organized a discussion panel that was attended by the outstanding guests – the representatives of the Turkish trade organizations, the media, diplomats, and Turkish meat importers. Thanks to the honest, factual discussion and active understanding of the market needs, we build the awareness of our product and we build a trade platform between the European producers and Turkish clients. This is an up-to-date subject as Turkey decided to open its market – explains Katarzyna Oponowicz, the Polish Meat Association Office director, the Organizer of Savor Europe campaign.
The main source of information during the Fair is the official stand of the Campaign. On the area of 80 m2, the Organizers and producers with a help of hostesses welcome a crowd of visitors. Thanks to the faceto- face conversation and the information pack, each guest of Savor Europe stand has a chance to obtain complex information about the campaign and the possibilities of cooperation.

Savor Europe campaign does not only conduct B2B activities, but it also puts en emphasis on the communication with the Turks that aims at presenting them with knowledge about the European beef. In order to reach the public opinion effectively, we cooperate with the media. We decided to organize a series of individual meetings with the key branch media in order to conduct in-depth talks and address all the questions of the journalists. We consider this form of cooperation to be the most effective for both parties – summarizes Katarzyna Oponowicz, the Polish Meat Association office director, the Organizer of Savor Europe campaign.
