Æcorn Drinks: Turning the Table

Homepage - aecorn

Task

Underline

Æcorn Drinks, a new boldly bitter non-alc brand from the category gamechanger, Seedlip tasked Platform13 to explore the evolution of food and drinks culture, focusing on what to drink with food when you are not drinking.

Approach

Underline

We've been told that one important way to enhance great food is by pairing it with good wine. Which means, if you’re not drinking, you’re missing out.

But times are changing, and attitudes towards food and drink culture are changing dramatically, whether you’re drinking, not drinking, or somewhere in-between.

We wanted to explore this evolution by meeting the trailblazers turning the tables on food and drinks culture.

Output

Underline

We concepted and produced a three part IGTV series entitled TURNING THE TABLE, hosted by Æcorn Drinks co-founder Claire Warner, exploring the evolution of food and drink with three cultural voices within food and drinks, award winning Mr Lyan, zero waste pioneer Doug McMaster from Silo and neighbourhood hangout, The Table, Broadstairs.

Ryan 'Mr Lyan' Chetiyawaranda

Exploring and examining flavour with award winning, category shaking cocktail experimenter, Ryan Chetiyawaranda AKA Mr Lyan - at his home.

The Table Broadstairs (Joe Hill & Jenny Scott)

#SPRITZWITHUS at HOME

SPRITZWITHUS (at HOME)

In the first month of lockdown, all the spaces featured in the series temporarily closed.

We enlisted our cultural voices to show us how they #spritzwithus at home. creating a series of video, imagery and opinion pieces on how they were coping in lockdown for Æcorn's channels.

The Table's Joe Hill showing us how to make a home version of his signature cheese toastie, Ryan Chetiyawaranda, AKA Mr Lyan, revealing the secret behind a perfect Æcorn Spritz with a twist, Silo founder Doug McMaster sharing zero waste tips for the ultimate sourdough and Mother's Meeting founder Jenny Scott (also of The Table) revealing how she balances her time as a mother of three children and owner of two businesses.
