Ways to work together

One partnership. Plenty of ways to bring it to life.

Every scope is shaped around the product, audience, platform, usage needs, and the outcome the brand actually cares about.

01

Sponsored recipe content

Original, brand-aligned recipes developed to be useful, craveable, and worth returning to.

02

Short-form video

Reels, TikToks, and vertical video built around a strong hook, clear process, and satisfying payoff.

03

Food photography

Polished, real-food imagery for BakedLean channels or licensed use across a brand’s own marketing.

04

UGC & licensing

Platform-native creative delivered for organic social, paid media, websites, email, and retail support.

05

Recipe development

Product-forward concepts developed around taste, texture, ease, and a credible consumer use case.

06

Ongoing partnerships

Ambassador and multi-deliverable programs that build familiarity instead of starting from zero each time.
