cooks added the newly found recipes to their regular meals. Food videos are easy to remember and pack enough visually appealing action into a short clip for the audience’s short attention spans. Food has always been a starting point to reach Good in Every Grain’s online audience — and the audience outside of our followers. Recipes, food facts, and stories behind the grains used to make our favourite recipes are content that has resonated and connected with Ontario consumers. Armed with the above knowledge, we have partnered with chef influencers to create engaging, visually appealing videos with easy-to-follow grain-based recipes over the past year. During the holiday season, Good in Every Grain partnered with five Ontario-based influencers to create signature grain-inspired recipes and create awareness on its social platforms. As a result, the brand posted thirty posts and stories across its social platforms. This garnered over 300,000 in reach (total number of people who viewed the content), 29,000 engagements (commented, liked, reposted, etc.) and 450,000 video views.
