Caroline Kenyon, broadcaster and serial entrepreneur in the world of food, founder of The Food Awards Company and co-founder of the radio company Food FM. I invited Caroline to sit down with me to talk about her love of food and how she nurtures it and cultivates it in others.We start with her upbringing in London and how she moved to study law at Cambridge but found she didn't have the mindset to work as a lawyer. Instead her creative instincts led her to journalism and eventually editing. We talk about how her initial "cheekiness" helped her to find a break in the competitive world of journalism, and how very humble beginnings led to the a flourishing Food PR company after she moved to Lincolnshire.Caroline's career now celebrates every aspect of food - through The Food Awards Company and Food FM radio, and we hear about how we are on the cusp of a global food revolution, where the provenance of food, the importance of food and new innovation in the world of food is creating so much buzz.Caroline talks about the origins of each of these businesses, and how her experience of Covid and looking after her elderly mother saw her seeing food as a healer and a source of joy. We hear about the innovations that are currently exciting her and how food can be a source of better mental health and better overall wellness.You can find out more about the Food Awards Company on https://www.thefoodawardscompany.co.uk creating and about FoodFM at https://foodfmradio.com

Leyla Kazim finds out how food companies and restaurants use PR agencies to get us thinking about the meals they want us to buy. From talking teabags to weird breakfast combos, social media has become a way for brands to show us their personalities. In this episode we speak to those behind the stories, find out where they came from, and why they work to keep brands relevant. In hospitality, as restaurants reopen, PR agencies faced with contract cancellations at the start of the pandemic are now being called on to get people back through the doors. They don't use stunts, but publicising the stories of those involved and their recipes can be as effective in drumming up interest. Leyla meets hospitality PR expert Gemma Bell, who was involved in encouraging restaurants to take part in the Eat Out to Help Out Campaign, she says the way they communicate about restaurants over the past 10 years has really changed - and it's no longer just about getting good restaurant reviews. Plus we hear from one of London's first food influencers @onehungryasian about the role he plays in promoting restaurant businesses, and young food campaigner Dev Sharma tells Leyla how he hopes fast-food brands won't shift their marketing campaigns completely to PR once the laws change on advertising junk food to children. Presented by Leyla Kazim Produced in Bristol by Natalie Donovan

Food PR expert Mary Barber joins Tim to tell the origin stories behind our Thanksgiving foods, from regional favorites, to some items that trace their “roots” back to that first Thanksgiving in 1621. Listen to the story behind your Thanksgiving table. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shapingopinion/Why_We_Eat_What_We_Do_on_Thanksgiving_auphonic.mp3 Next Thursday America will celebrate Thanksgiving marking the official start of the Holiday season. A day of parades, football, food, family…and more food. History tells us that the first Thanksgiving happened in October or November of 1621. That was when a group of new arrivals to the continent called the Pilgrims hosted an autumn harvest celebration where they hosted the Wampanoag Indians on Plymouth Plantation. Since then, in various ways, Americans have remembered the event with celebrations of their own. At the center of those celebrations has been the food. Today, when we think of Thanksgiving in America, we think of family and friends gathering together around a table where the centerpiece is a turkey with stuffing. Maybe mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberries or cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie, just to name a few of the dishes. So, how did those items and others find their way onto millions of American tables every Thanksgiving? We pondered this question and could think of no better person to ask than Mary Deming Barber. You may remember her from Episode 2 where we talked about the origin story behind the American breakfast of bacon and eggs. This time, we wanted to get Mary's thoughts on America's Thanksgiving menu. The First Thanksgiving Edward Winslow, one of the Pilgrims from the Mayflower, has said that four men went hunting and returned with a good amount of “fowl.” Given the customs of the time, that fowl could have included wild turkeys, duck, and geese. Winslow mentions venison as well. Turkey was likely not the centerpiece of the meal. According to historians, both the English and the Wampanoag would stuff birds and fish with herbs, onions or in the case of the English, oats. Not bread. It may have been the Wampanoag who introduced cranberries, which were native to the area. According to records, the first mention of consumption of a “berry with sugar for a sauce to eat with meat” was 50 years later, sometime around 1671. Potatoes were generally not included in the English diet or the American Indian diet to this point. Let's go back to Winslow's account: He said that they had access to lobsters and eels and mussels. He said the American Indians often provided oysters, along with herbs, grapes, strawberries, gooseberries, and plums. Agricultural experts say that around that time, they hay have had cultivated beans, dried berries, cranberries, pumpkins, grapes and nuts. Turnips, carrots, corn, thanks to the American Indians, which was new to the English. Pumpkin may have been included, but probably not pie. Historians speculate that some of the items we now associate with Thanksgiving really didn't arrive until 200 years alter during the Victorian era. At that same time, a woman emerged who probably had more to do with the Thanksgiving traditions we know today than anyone else. We could probably do an entire podcast episode just about her and her many accomplishments beyond Thanksgiving. Sarah Josepha Hale, editor of a women's magazine called Godey's Lady's Book, was a trendsetter for her time. She was a leading voice in establishing Thanksgiving as an annual event. She is the one who petitioned 13 presidents her idea for an annual Thanksgiving Holiday. President Lincoln took her up on it as a way to unite the country during the Civil War. As part of her campaign, Hale printed Thanksgiving recipes and menus in her magazine. She also published about 12 cookbooks. Much of what we think of when we think of Thanksgiving we owe to Sarah Josepha Hale. Norman Rockwell: Freedom from Want

While optimism can get us far in the natural food business, you also need to spend some time thinking about what could go wrong.

No matter what phase of business you’re in, it’s worth it to invest time to think ahead to what could go wrong. This could be applied to any area of your business (e.g. new product launch, distribution issues, supplier shortages, etc) but our focus here is on PR crisis planning.

When I was approached to interview Susie Fogelson, I recognized the name, but I couldn’t put a finger on it. However, after researching who she was, it all came torrenting down. Susie’s marketing directive at Nickelodeon and the Food Network had influenced my childhood. She was behind many of the shows that you might recognize such as Emeril Live, or Good Eats, or Iron Chef and you might recognize her as a judge in the Next Food Network Star. Now revving up her new strategic firm, Susie shares her amazing way of marketing for all of you. Get ready for an interview with a lot of amazing takeaways. This episode has it all, from this new concept we talk about called food connectivity, the strategy and concept behind key shows such as Iron Chef and Chopped, and the amazing things you can do in the internet today when it comes to accelerating your personal brand. Susie taught me a lot, and surprisingly, I taught Susie a lot! I talked to her about food science, co-packing, and sensory science. That’s the beauty of the food industry. There are so many facets and faces, and I learn from every one of them.

But the truth is, if you havea concept, you should work with a production company and use the production company to leverage with the programming people It’s very simple to see which production companies are working on the show. For example, Rock Shrimp Who is your favorite Food Network Star?: What makes them so special and unique is that these food network stars are passionate about food. Emeril Lagasse was someone I really respect because he would cook and bring the food out. Bobby Flay is one of the hardest working people I’ve ever known. The way he manages his team and how he rewards with people and deals with people matters. Guy Fieri is fun to hang out with, Ann Berelle is fierce, charismatic, etc. You might know Susie from: She was on the Next Food Network Star and the AltonBrownCast Now she has a: Boutique Strategic Firm and Agency Food Marketing Path and a Celebrity Chef Food Strategy and Storytelling Has Foodies been extinguished? New term: People are Food Connected Everyone is getting involved in being food connected. It’s the Dad who loves to grill or the two dads who bake. It’s the college kids going out to eat, it’s the lawyers going to culinary food How Susie started her Strategic Firm: I worked with food network for 16 years, left 2 years Discovery bought Scripps, corporate shakeup Susie left but didn’t get any offers, at least the ones she didn’t want. She realized that a lot of brands were trying to get food connected and she wanted to make a firm that was dedicated to connecting brands to food. On self-branding and connecting: You should focus on your brand. If you’re booked all the time, you won’t have time for those 1 on 1 lunch. It’s important to think about your brand and your company’s brand at the same time. Background: Sociology at UCLA a great foundation on how people think in groups. My first job was at an ad agency. Went into media, which ended up with me going to Nickelodeon. I’m a strategist at the end of the day. Use data to extrapolate strategy and let people rock it Example: In Food Network, in the day, people liked Stand and Stir, but in the night, they want excitement and competition An example is Iron Chef. We would market this show as a non-fiction entertainment seeker’s show. 3 shining objects. We would work as a sort of task force. We were looking to promote cooking as a sport. This includes getting well know chefs to do this as a way to hook them in. Iron Chef was shot on the 6th floor of Food Network. You have to have every ingredient the chef Iron Chef as a sport and that ushered into a whole new genre For Chopped, there are 30 professionally trained chefs in the background. They would use the Chopped Ingredients before the show aired to prove the viability. How do I become a Celebrity Chef?: First, don’t think of being a celebrity chef. Think of developing your brand. If you want to develop your brand, you can talk to us. First, I ask for a video of them creating a dish Then my partner writes a positioning document Then we do an hour-long interview (like this?) I won’t make a show, but I’ll help you make great content What is your favorite social media platform?: Video. Snapchat, Instagram stories, less is more musical.ly or Tik Tok– Gen Z app Crushing It – Gary Vaynerchuk Someone should get on that for cooking App: Panna – a collection of cooking videos Migelo does dumpling Rick Bayless does mole sauce Do you need the food network to be successful?: Yes, but it’s more than that. How do you get people to pay for your content? Number one place for recipes is social media now Content Strategy Know your brands: The three shiny objects. Create good content: That’s well thought through, and for your specific platform After starting, I’ve learned that the food industry is much bigger than I thought. Head forager for whole foods was talking to Susie about scaling up. They’ve been making it in small quanitites, but when they scale with copackers, there are a ton of things that can happen I never thought of design, private equity, everything Institute of Food Technologist in Chicago Fancy Food Show Beverage Conference NOSH Live Hippeas Daily Harvest – Direct to Consumer Food Trends and Technology Transparency: How can brands be more forthcoming on the process. A lot of companies are very nervous about being transparent. Small brands get it, big brands are struggling Wendys looks at Greenhouse Tomatoes Transparency is hard, but it’s all about storytelling Food Network has proven that storytelling is the best way to get people interested in food Ag Tech such as vertical farm and clean fish Blue Nalu – Clean Fish Company Impossible and Beyond Meat – lab based protein forward foods Plenty – vertical farms Aerofarms – vertical farm Fancy Food Show: Tyson Ventures has something called Up-Cycle. They take chicken waste and turn it into a chip Food Waste When I talk to startups, it’s all about scale. Not everything is organic or not The Abbott’s Butcher – focuses on flexitarians Food Network Star – Nikki Dinki – Meat on the side For plant-based: it has to taste amazing Taste is King Portland Flavor Article Adam talks about sensory science Do you have any advice for anyone getting into the marketing industry?: The best approach is that I started at an agency. I learned how to start a deck, or how to work with clients Start with a goal, agree on a strategy, devise the tactics It’s hard but gives you the best foundation All companies have a goal PR is also a great business to be in Food PR is really smart.
