Sustainable Farming Social Media Posts for CanolaInfo

These are a set of social media posts we developed for CanolaInfo.org to highlight the importance of soil conservation and sustainability to Canola farmers. 

Social Media Post: Canola farmers not only make their living from the land; they also live and raise their families next to the fields they farm. That is why healthy soil, water and air are so important to them. #sustainablefarming

Recipe Testing for a Mexican Cookbook

This past week our client, CanolaInfo, launched a cookbook published by Larousse Mexico called “Take Care of Your Heart: Recipes with Canola Oil.” Chef Guadalupe Garcia de Leon del Paso developed all of the recipes. Our small part of this project was testing, formatting and nutritional analysis of all of the recipes. We also oversaw the translation of the recipes into Spanish. Talk about a yummy job! The cookbook will be sold in major bookstores nationwide in Mexico and on Larousse.mx as of early March. Congratulations to all of the CanolaInfo Team especially Chef Guadalupe! It is always a pleasure to work with you!

Nuffield Canada Agriculture Scholarship Social Media

Over the past year, we have helped Nuffield Canada Agriculture Scholarship with posting, content development, Facebook and Twitter advertising, graphic development for their Facebook and Twitter pages. We also helped them set up Hootsuite to schedule their posts and improve engagement with like-minded organizations and potential funders. As a small non-profit with a limited budget, our goal was to set them up with the tools and the confidence to eventually manage their own social media in a cost-effective way.  Although we will still provide support from time to time, we are happy to say, that they are now maintaining their platforms.

Recipe Development: Recipe testing 

Recipes are the legs your food product stands on. A tried and true (tested) recipe will show your target not only how to use your product but how to enjoy it. Partner a great recipe with a tasty looking photo and an interesting story and you are more than halfway to creating a great campaign. 

We love recipes and can help by developing new recipes or testing existing recipes. We do develop recipes in-house or can connect you with numerous food writers, cookbook authours, dietitians, chefs or food bloggers to develop recipes.

We use Food Processing Nutritional Analysis Software by ESHA Research to generate a nutritional analysis of recipes. More info>

We do food photography and hands and pans videos in-house or can connect you with other food photographers and videographers.
