Social buzz: Quality over quantity 

What happens when you focus on content that truly resonates? Engagement skyrockets. MLA’s social and digital channels recently saw a 300% jump in engagement compared to the previous period. That means our messages are connecting with the right audiences. The community is growing too – our social following is up 25%, and 35 lively posts reached more than 1.1 million people. The summer campaign, featured in FSR magazine, inspired over 272,000 foodservice professionals − driving thousands to explore our website, generating hundreds of new leads. Aussie beef also made a splash on the menu at Sharky’s Woodfired Mexican Grill in California – proof that Australian beef is deliciously making its mark. 

Aussie Meat Academy: Learning, sharing, inspiring 

The Aussie Meat Academy (AMA) is where passion meets expertise. In recent months, eight AMA events brought together chefs, foodservice leaders and industry insiders to Washington DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami and Palm Beach. A special online session was also hosted for college and university dining teams. The response? Over 360 attended, 80% rated their experience as excellent and nearly 60% said they were eager to put their new knowledge to work.

Our network of Lambassadors and Beef Mates is growing too − with new advocates joining from New York, Washington DC and Alabama. With fresh content and e-newsletters, our community just keeps expanding – over 1,500 new subscribers have joined the journey. 

Building partnerships, fueling growth 

Behind the scenes, MLA’s team has been busy forging connections and supporting partners. The MLA team  led more than 100 meetings with retailers, foodservice professionals and exporters − helping to launch and expand retail campaigns across Canada and the United States. From summer grilling promotions to educational summits, MLA is making sure Aussie beef and lamb are front and centre – on shelves, in kitchens and on menus. Digital campaigns and ambassador-led events are fueling excitement, while industry summits are positioning our products as must-haves for private label brands.
