The Challenge

Make Bagels & Beans more popular under a younger audience.

The Insight

Instead of just focusing on the products, we show the people and vibe.

The Approach

We shifted the strategy from product to people: more faces & more focus on the experience. With food as part of the story instead of the whole story.

The faces with the food

We combined product imagery with pictures of people, creating trendy content that brings the brand to life for a Gen Z audience.

What we learned

We’re still working to find the right balance between staying true to the brand and creating content that feels native to TikTok

Learning 01
Brand = out

Posts where the brand is clearly visible perform less good

Learning 02
People first

Posts with people perform better than posts that focus solely on the product

Learning 03
Instagram leads

The content performs better on Instagram, where we already have an audience

The shift

More vibes: showing the products creatively

We do still share content of the products, edited in a more creative and interesting way.

Food. Made with love

Moments. Guests recognise

Drinks. With quirky ingredients

Before. Products only

Now. Personality!

Work in progress

The new direction is live and still growing! This page grows with it.
