FDA Invitation

GAIA HERBS EXTENDS AN OPEN INVITE TO THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION IN LATEST CAMPAIGN, “FDA INVITATION”

The Herbal Supplement Brand Issues an Invite to the FDA to Inspect and Evaluate Their Practices and Products, Shining a Light on Gaia’s Industry Leading Quality Standards

- Gaia Herbs is leveraging their role as a leading herbal supplement company to call attention to the importance of quality, transparency, and traceability standards by issuing an open invitation to the Food and Drug Administration.

“Our research shows that consumers are confused about how to assess product quality and think that all herbal supplements are essentially created equal. This is simply not true,” said Gaia Herbs CEO, Jim Geikie. “For 35 years, Gaia Herbs has valued transparency and welcomed scrutiny of our rigorous processes and intentional methods. This invitation to the FDA dramatizes that commitment and helps to inspire consumer confidence and trust. We salute the FDA for their vital regulatory role as we do other industry watch-dogs who exist to protect our consumers.”

The FDA invitation, developed by Gaia Herbs’ strategic advertising and marketing agency partner Baldwin&, pulls back the curtain on Gaia Herbs’ seed to bottle practices.

"When you work as hard as Gaia does to create supplements the right way, you don’t have anything to hide. From its farm to its lab and its factory, Gaia is proud to share its meticulous care to ensure the highest standards of quality and potency,” notes Mitch Bennett, Executive Creative DIrector at Baldwin&. “We had some fun with the idea of not only opening Gaia’s doors to FDA inspectors, but reserving a parking spot for inspectors too.

The goal of the campaign is to highlight the product integrity and manufacturing transparency that sets Gaia Herbs apart from other brands in the industry, and to prompt consumer awareness of an industry conversation about current supplement regulations while challenging higher standards across the board.

Planned social media content includes demonstrations of quality testing methods and behind-the-scenes glances at how Gaia’s products are grown, sourced, manufactured, and tested.
