The PERDUE® Brand Story
Before 1968,
there was no such thing as a recognized brand-name chicken. A chicken was just
a chicken, with nothing to set one apart from another. Frank Perdue changed all
that when he put his name on his chicken.
Frank built the PERDUE® brand
reputation by earning the trust of consumers through his personal commitment to
quality – backed by a market-first money-back guarantee. The brand’s now famous
TV ads featuring Frank Perdue as advertising spokesperson and the tagline, "It takes a tough man to make a
tender chicken®" helped to make the PERDUE® brand a household name in
the company's marketing areas.
While Frank’s ad campaigns have gone down in marketing history, it was his unwavering commitment to providing a superior product that made his chicken stand out from the rest. Today, Frank’s vision lives on in - WE BELIEVE IN A BETTER CHICKEN®. That phrase sums up our dedication to continually make every PERDUE® product better, and includes our USDA Process Verified Programs for All Vegetarian Diet, No Animal By-Products and Raised Cage Free.
