Collective Kitchen

A $1M+ branded campaign that made plant-based cooking feel like something you'd want to do, not something you should do.

Built as a platform

What started as a single branded campaign became something we could keep using. Recipes, chef partnerships, video, editorial, and social content for three plant-based brands across EU and US markets.

The whole thing was designed so we could swap in different chefs, brands, and markets without reinventing the format every time.

ProblemPlant-based brands that needed content people would actually watch, not just scroll past.

Chef-led credibility

We found chefs in four markets who could cook with the brands' products and had a real point of view on plant-based food. Each one got a content package: recipes, a profile, social video, photography, and promotion across our channels.

Research

Found chefs who cooked with conviction and could represent the brands without it feeling forced.

Production

Same structure every time, different chef, market, and product. Easy to repeat without getting stale.

Distribution

Published through LIVEKINDLY's channels and the chefs' own audiences.

Top Dish

The main series followed plant-based chefs in Stockholm, Johannesburg, Berlin, and LA. Each episode: visit a local sustainability project, come back to the kitchen, cook something with the brands' products.

We developed and produced it in-house with three production teams filming on location during COVID, which was exactly as complicated as it sounds.

One campaign, but built so the pieces kept working: new chef, new market, same format, new content.

Made for motion

Alongside the series, we produced a steady stream of social content: branded how-tos, chef conversations, explainers, and cuts sized for different platforms.
