PRODUCTS

Our first task was to build out by-products that are in line with their current product offering.
HexClad being a cookware brand, we wanted to expand on that with products that chefs and food lovers would appreciate and uitilize.

We implemented a conversion chart and QR code on the inside that directs to featured recipes and the HEXCLAD website.
It can also be used to promote deals and offerings to specific apron holders.
Additionally we developed several bags. The market bag is a large bag with over the shoulder straps and handheld straps, ideal for farmers market and grocery runs. The smaller tote bag is designed as an everyday essentials bag. The vegetable bag is cotton mesh bag with drawstrings, ideal for produce. The marinade bag is used for packaging and can be repurposed as a marinade bag.

Our solution for extending the lifetime of the packaging was to use a food safe plastic bag.
We added instructions for cleaning and preparing marinades to be used.
This solution reduces waste while leaning into the cookware brand’s product offerings.

PRODUCT USES

As an additional selling point, we made all these products with sustainable materials.
Aprons were made with 100% recycled cotton canvas. The bags were made with 100% recyled plastic bottls, and the hats were made with 100% recycled nylon.
After making the products, we helped with the product photography and launch strategy of each product.

INFLUENCER MARKETING

As part of each product launch, we gifted on brand influencers from our network products so we could capture content, gain exposure, as well as feedback. Our vast list of influencers has been curated over the years, allowing us to tap into a wide range of micro and macro influencers across several industries.
We bring influencers to each event and experience that we produce to help with exposure, and create moments for press.

Influencer Dinners

We had an exclusive dinner for influencers to become a part of the HEXCLAD brand. A private chef was brought in and performed a cooking demo for the attendees. Each guest was able to try the cookware, wear the HEXCLAD aprons and engage with the product and chef. This event resulted in several influencers signing a deal with HEXCLAD.
The guests that attened this event, amass a total of over 100 million followers on Instagram and TikTok.
