Insights from food practice

What really works on shelf & in the feed.

12+ years of food marketing — our honest learnings, no buzzwords.

Insight 01

Shelf presence ≠ brand presence

Just because a product is on the shelf does not mean it sells. What counts today: the brand in the mind before it hits the shelf — through social, creators and content.

3-4x higher sell-through with social support
Insight 02

Reels schlagen Foto-Feed

We consistently see: with food brands, short video formats (Reels, TikTok) perform 8–12x better than photo posts. But they must feel like content, not advertising.

+340% Engagement vs. statische Posts
Insight 03

The creator is the proof

A product launch without a creator collab leaves reach on the table. Also: micro-creators (10–50K) convert better than mega-creators — their audience is tighter and more loyal.

70% of buyers check social reviews before purchase
What we love to build for Food & Beverage

Ideas that make your shelf revenue unforgettable.

01

Signature-Content-Serie

A recurring format over 6-12 months — same visual language, same tone. Builds recognition like a good TV ad.

02

Product-Launch-Campaign

From teaser through launch to reviewer wave — the full story with creator integration and retail activation.

03

UGC-Creator-Wave 🎥

15–25 creators, same product, honest perspectives. Raw phone video beats any glossy campaign — and delivers weeks of content in one week.

04

Behind-the-Product-Story

How is the product made, who is behind it, what is the idea? Substance instead of advertising — that is exactly what the audience buys.

Insights from hospitality

What guests wirklich hierher bringt.

From Pesca to Privathotel Lindtner — our practice from the hospitality world.

Insight 01

Instagram is the new menu

80% of guests check the Instagram account before making a reservation. If you do not convey atmosphere there, you lose before you have said hello.

80% check social before booking
Insight 02

Google-Reviews > Werbung

A Google rating of 4.7 vs 4.3 makes twice the difference of any campaign. Review activation is the underrated lever.

2x more bookings with a 4.7+ rating
Insight 03

Community beats marketing

Regulars bring more revenue than any new campaign. Content showing insider moments (team, kitchen, rituals) builds loyalty no ad budget can buy.

03

People buy from people. We show who is behind the bar, in the kitchen, at the reception — personal, not generic.

04

Google-Reviews-Aktivierung

A system that turns every happy guest into a review. Small, but the biggest ranking lever locally.

How a brand begehrenswert becomes.

Content that does not just show — it attracts.

Insight 01

Livestream shopping is real

A billion-dollar business in China already, ramping up in Europe. Beauty brands building livestream formats now secure a channel their competitors are still missing.

Insight 02

Editorial > Product-Shot

Pure product shots lose. What wins: editorial moments, people, atmosphere. The brand must feel like a magazine — not a catalogue.

Insight 03

Reviews are the new testimonial

UGC beats any professional campaign on conversion. Brands that systematically involve creators for testing grow twice as fast.

What we love to build for Beauty & Lifestyle

01

Editorial-Campaign

02

Livestream-Format

A recurring live appointment — Q&A, product reveals, community moments. Builds closeness no post feed can.

03

Creator-Testing-Wave

20-30 creators, same product, different perspectives. Massive reach + authentic reviews in one go.

04

Behind-the-Formula Content

What is inside? Why? How is it made? Transparency is the new luxury — especially in beauty.

What makes an event beyond the event keeps it alive.

From Internorga to Nordstil — practice from 15+ events.

Insight 01

The event is the kickoff, not the peak

70% of reach happens in the 4 weeks AFTER the event — through aftermovie, recap content, behind-the-scenes. Producing only on site leaves value on the table.

70% of reach comes after the event
Insight 02

Live realtime beats perfect later

A raw reel 2 hours after the appearance performs better than a perfectly edited post 3 days later. Speed is a feature.

6x Engagement bei sub-24h-Posts
Insight 03

Retargeting audiences are gold

Whoever attended (or consumed the content) is your hottest audience for the next 90 days — for next year's ticket sales or sponsor content.

3-4x Conversion bei Event-Retargeting
What we love to build for trade shows & events

Ideas that make the Nachhall laut machen.

01

Live reporting team

2-3 people on site — photo, video, social. Realtime posts, stories, direct community interaction during the event.

02

Aftermovie with impact

90 seconds that pack the energy of an entire event into one loop. Perfect for social, website, next sponsor pitches.

03

Interview-Serie vor Ort

Insights from Retail & City Marketing

What really brings footfall back.

Julian brings 10+ years of ECE and CBRE experience — retail and centre marketing are part of the DNA of PLAYGROUND.

Insight 01

Retail needs content, not advertising

Classic retail advertising fizzles out. What works: authentic content with retailers, centre managers and real customers — like a documentary series.

+45% Center-Frequenz durch Storytelling-Content
Insight 02

Cities compete for attention

City centres compete with online shopping. Only cities with a clear brand and a digital presence win — everyone else becomes a transit station.

73% of Gen Z research a city via social before visiting
Insight 03

Event marketing is retail marketing

A late-night shopping event with 500 visitors brings more to the brand than a 4-week poster. Retail wins today in moments — not in campaigns.

3-5x ROI of experience events vs classic advertising
What we love to build for Retail & City Marketing

Ideas that Footfall and emotion bring back.

01

Image film for centre or city

90-second film showing what makes your place unique — for website, social and local cinema advertising.

02

Retailer or downtown series

03

Social media build-up for municipalities

Full channel build-up — from content strategy to community management. Also scalable for smaller cities.

04

Workshops for retailers & centre teams

Reels, TikTok, Google Business: we bring retail and marketing teams up to eye level — practical, ready to apply.

05

Creator events for cities, retail & regions 🎤

A curated creator event on site — in the centre, downtown or in the region. Reach, content and footfall in one go. Julian ran FOOD-TOPIA at ECE and now brings this format to your city.
