Kellogg's survived the Great Depression primarily by doubling its advertising budget and aggressively marketing new products like Rice Krispies, while competitors cut back on marketing. This bold strategy increased brand visibility and consumer demand despite economic hardship, leading to greater profits and long-term market dominance. Their investment in marketing and innovation during tough times built strong brand loyalty and resilience.
