OUR PHILOSOPHY
Food is people. It’s a best friend during a break up. It’s a gathering around the table for Lunar New Year. It’s a family growing peppers to deter elephants from destroying their garden, later making and selling hot sauce from the peppers. It’s an ESports athlete taking a brain-enhancing snack break. It’s a new mother whose baby won’t latch. It’s a scientist who improved the nutrition for millions through small modifications to rice. It’s an eco conscious colleague buying the team a bottle of molecular whiskey to celebrate a product launch. It’s an immigrant cooking and delivering food to your table and their own. It's a cannabis edibles maker checking their plants' gender ID in order to streamline resources. It’s a parent looking for healthy plant-based options, while eating their kids’ leftovers and surviving on just tea in between. It’s a grandma passing down a recipe. It’s a soccer player sharing orange slices at halftime. It’s a farmer hoping this year’s wildfires won’t affect his crop. It's a product developer finessing tissue layers of a 3D printed steak. It’s a grocery worker hoping he makes enough to bring home some groceries of his own. It’s a bariatric patient relearning to make food – and self-love – their ally. It’s a weight lifter checking every package label for its protein. It’s a food delivery person buying a new cargo bike. It’s an NGO youth activist fighting against palm oil. It's a social media food influencer changing the microeconomic eating habits of millions of viewers. It’s a chef operationalizing humanitarian assistance with food that doesn’t have to taste bad. It’s a dad teaching his toddler to stir pancake batter artistically on Sundays. Food is nostalgia, familiarity, nourishment, uncertainty, a dopamine hit, a crutch, a data source, an economic movement, and a life raft... Food is people.
The world and hospitality experiences are also changing in modern ways – and we are leading the way as a global consortium of PR and marketing strategists, Michelin starred chefs, management consultants, food product developers, tech product developers, event producers, writers, interior designers, multiculturalists, audience experts, cultivated meat makers, food security experts, vegans, flexitarians, reducetarians, meat eaters, packaging experts, cake decorators, architects, nutritionists, lactation experts, bariatric surgeons, cannabis growers, social media leaders, and storytellers.
