The challenge
OKONO is a brand new ketogenic food startup, launched by young entrepreneur Luka Bresseel. The keto lifestyle has been booming these last few years. The ketofriendly products of OKONO respond to the growing demand for a healthy lifestyle and the need for keto products on the Belgian market.
The low-carb, vegan, lactose and gluten-free products of OKONO contribute to a balanced diet. Thanks to OKONO, you can continue to enjoy chocolate, bread and granola without feeling guilty. Without sugars, little carbohydrates and full of flavour. And what’s better than snacking without cheating? Snacking deliciously without cheating!
The work
The goal of this campaign was to raise awareness for the new brand. To put OKONO on the map, we created three press releases in Dutch and French, which we sent out to a large selection of lifestyle and corporate press. Two press releases were created to target lifestyle press, one press release was focused on targeting corporate press. On top of the press releases and one-to-one pitching, 16 key journalists received a delicious OKONO seeding box. Next to press, 14 influencers were also spoiled with the OKONO goodies.
“MMBSY did a great job helping us with the launch of OKONO. We were able to achieve a lot of great publications in newspapers and magazines during the launch phase which really served as a great help. The fast switching and working of MMBSY was definitely a great added value here! Our account manager was always available, acted quickly and was able to think along with us in a solution-oriented way. We are very satisfied with the result and will remain clients”, says Luka Bresseel *blushing*.
