David Atherton

Job to be done

Demonstrate the value of New York Bakery Co. bagels vs the competition in a cost-of-living crisis when space in shopping baskets is at a premium.

Strategic approach

Stand for and showcase authenticity, shouting the brand and product USPs from the rooftops! Focus on the superiority and irreplaceability of New York bagels, educating consumers on what to look for when buying into the category.

Strategy and creative campaign

If it’s not from New York, it’s just a roll with a hole. A fully integrated PR, influencer and social media campaign that enlisted Bake Off’s David Atherton as the brand’s ‘Chief Authenticity Expert’. Fun and educational documentary-style audio visual content – including a hero video – saw David educate viewers on what to look for when buying authentic food staples like bagels. The video launch was supported by insight-based news gen showing how important authenticity is to shoppers, and launched on social media the day the story was released to video news desks, with further support from our always-on influencers putting David’s advice into action.
