The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Gerber started in 1927 in Fremont, Michigan. Dorothy Gerber steamed vegetables and pressed them through a sieve. The company sold strained baby food in small glass jars. A radio campaign in 1928 boosted sales sharply. Gerber's chubby-faced baby became the company icon. The Gerber baby image outlasted most advertising symbols. Today Gerber operates globally and owns multiple baby nutrition lines. The brand ranks first among 21,133 tracked brands in Baby, Kids & Toys. Gerber dominates American baby food shelves. It expanded into formula, snacks, and toddler meals. The company belongs to Nestlé since 2012. Parents still associate the name with first spoonfuls. Gerber's reach extends beyond food into gear and clothing. The brand remains synonymous with feeding infants across generations.
