One More Pound: Believing We Can Grow Value and Volume
NPB CEO David Newman asks U.S. pork producers to believe the industry can capitalize on the growing demand from consumers for protein.

Since launching in May 2025, the Taste What Pork Can Do® campaign is seeing undeniable momentum. By “flipping the script” to prioritize consumer needs over industry features, NPB is successfully repositioning pork for a new generation of consumers and creating long-term demand.

“This isn’t just about positioning a product; it’s about changing the way consumers think. We are building brand loyalty that drives demand even when there isn’t an ad right in front of them, and showing how pork fits into their specific lifestyle, their life stage and how it completes their mealtime.”
