Bringing flavour to life

Live dates: March-May and September-December 2023 | Key brands: Good Food, olive and Delicious

The challenge

Despite 120 years of experience creating vanilla extract, paste and pods, consumer awareness of Taylor & Colledge was limited.

Taylor & Colledge is a trusted brand that prides itself on delivering intense, consistent and natural flavour in its products. The brand was keen to grow market share by conveying its position as a flavour expert. It was also keen to raise awareness of its sustainability credentials.

Immediate was tasked with telling Taylor & Colledge’s story to our scaled audience of home cooks.

Objectives

  • Raise awareness of the Taylor & Colledge brand.
  • Establish the brand positioning of ‘Bring Flavour to Life’, emphasising quality and flavour credentials.
  • Promote key messages around expertise, quality ingredients, sustainability, and product range.

Deliverables

In partnership with Lisa Faulkner, we created inspiring recipes and informative content for baking enthusiasts, showing how Taylor & Colledge products can elevate their bakes to the next level:

  • Microsite (including recipes, videos, articles, and competitions)
  • Social campaign (driving to hub)
  • Print articles (Good Food, olive and Delicious)
  • Targeted digital display campaign
  • Supporting video content
  • Podcast sponsorship
