The most underused content strategy for food and CPG brands is recipe and use-case content.
Here’s what the data says:
Recipe posts drive 3x more saves than standard product photography, and saves are the highest signal of purchase intent on Instagram. More valuable than likes. More valuable than comments.
A Pinterest pin lives for 4+ months. An Instagram product post lives for about 48 hours. One well-executed recipe shoot produces content that keeps driving discovery, traffic, and trust long after it’s published.
It works across every channel simultaneously: your Instagram feed, TikTok, email campaigns, website, Pinterest, and paid ads. One shoot. One strategy. An entire content ecosystem.
And yet most food and CPG brands aren’t doing it consistently. Not because they don’t see the value, because they don’t have the dedicated creative infrastructure to execute it well and repeatedly.
That’s exactly what we build at Graze.
We’re a Toronto-based commercial production studio specializing in recipe development and food styling for food, beverage, and CPG brands. We handle everything from concept and recipe development through to shoot day, editing, and deployment - so the content doesn’t just look beautiful, it works hard across every platform it lives on.
If your brand has a product that belongs in someone’s kitchen, pantry, or daily routine and your content isn’t reflecting that yet... that’s the gap we close.
