Kraft Tackles Restaurant Competition, Boosts Marketing

Feb 21, 2007 6:05 AM, PROMO Xtra, By Betsy Spethmann

Kraft Foods will boost marketing spending and rev its new-product pipeline to compete with restaurants. Both initiatives are part of a three-year plan to improve the company's lackluster growth, which could push the food giant’s consumer marketing spending to $2 billion.

Kraft will invest $300 million to $400 million this year to fund four initiatives, including an increase in marketing. (The three others include product quality, product pipeline, and infrastructure).
