During the 2024 Global Grape Convention, Álvaro Luque, CEO of Avocados From Mexico, shared the inspiring story of how his company positioned avocados as a star product in American homes. Luque highlighted the challenges of promoting in a market as competitive as the United States, the world's largest economy and the biggest advertising market on the planet.

Luque explained that when Avocados From Mexico launched in 2013, they faced numerous marketing challenges, primarily due to a lack of brand recognition and low digital investment. However, the company adopted an innovative approach to fresh produce marketing, changing how consumers perceive and purchase avocados. In 2015, the brand made history by becoming the first fresh fruit and vegetable company to advertise during the Super Bowl, marking a turning point in its trajectory.

Since then, Avocados From Mexico has made great strides, including becoming the number one digital brand during the 2018 Super Bowl and establishing its own avocado lab and culinary center in the United States. Furthermore, the company was recognized by Fast Company as one of the 100 best companies for innovators in the world in 2020 and one of the 50 most innovative in 2021.

The success of Avocados From Mexico is based on a clear vision and a disruptive marketing strategy. Luque emphasized the importance of creating a strong connection with consumers, which allows them not only to increase sales volume but also to maintain the category's value over time. With a focus on consumer education, digital innovation, and promoting health benefits, Avocados From Mexico has demonstrated how a brand can transform a market and set new standards in the fruit and vegetable industry.
