The Ask
The quick serve restaurant category is all about making food look visually appealing. Yet a quality food experience doesn’t just magically happen- it’s a process that Panera asked to make known to customers around America.
The Challenge
Food experts are typically in the kitchen, making very specific decisions over and over again until a recipe is right. Our creative challenge was to unearth these discoveries and turn them into stories for food lovers.
The Idea
It takes a special group of humans coming together to create, test and make a great menu. Our idea was to blend the natural kitchen table conversation happening with
Panera’s chefs, bakers and culinary experts with on screen pop ups and fast facts, to give our audience intimacy and information.
The Model
All content was programmed and shot on location in Panera’s test kitchen. Each episode features a new menu item, the secrets and speciality it takes to deliver a quality food experience. Over a period of time, we edited and tested the series, optimizing the viewing experience based on performance, to deliver a six-part long form branded content series titled “Behind the Counter ''. with adjacent content made for social media.
