Honey Baked Ham CMO Jo Ann Herold oversees a brand with over 400 retail locations, a booming direct-to-consumer business and an indelible brand. She joined Christy Hiler and Jason Falls on Digging Deeper to explain everything from the brand’s history to its recent re-branding efforts.
Honey Baked Ham was founded 60 years ago in Detroit by Harry J. Hoenselaar, who invented the spiral slicer. The brand is bordering on the territory of being a generic label, like Kleenex or White Out. You don’t typically hear people saying they’re getting just a ham, but a Honey Baked Ham.
