CONTEXT

If you missed the famous clip of Levi Roots on Dragon’s Den, we’ll take you back.

(P.s. watch it immediately).

Levi began making and selling his legendary Reggae Reggae Jerk BBQ Sauce from his kitchen in Brixton. 16 years later, he took a punt on Dragon’s Den and won over Peter Jones and Richard Farleigh.

Levi Roots Reggae Reggae Jerk BBQ Sauce can now be found in most of the biggest supermarkets across the UK, and his range has expanded to drinks, chilli jams, recipe books and more.

“Help us show that the vibrant flavours of the Caribbean belong on every table.”

Levi’s social media has a loyal audience who remember him from the Dragon’s Den days. But they wanted to draw in a new, younger demographic and increase product consideration amongst a new audience by encouraging trial.

A hugely important part of the social media strategy was to ensure Levi remains at the heart of everything. He’s the brand. He’s the guy with the story, the charm, and the know-how. Our approach to his channels needed to be collaborative to keep Levi’s personality and humbling story throughout it all.

So our objectives here were to…

  1. Increase brand awareness, especially with a younger demographic

  2. Increase product consideration for current products and NPD

  3. Demonstrate that Caribbean flavours belong on every table through inspiration and host foods

OUR

APPROACH

After weeks of research and a guided tour of Brixton with the main man himself, we developed a social media strategy that redefined the content pillars to bring purpose to every single post.

LEVI's Roots

We created a pillar dedicated to ‘Levi’s Roots’ to ensure a space for Levi to communicate his story.

Although a brand account, Levi is the brand. He’s the person that people will connect with, and rightly so.

We kicked off this content pillar with some action shots in and around Brixton by taking our cameras with us and hearing Levi’s story in the place where it all began.

PERSONALITY & TONE

Levi. Brings. The Vibes. This needed to come across on his socials.

From the tone of voice to the chilled Reggae sounds of the Caribbean as the audio to his Reels, we actively push as much personality into every piece of content.

It’s not ‘flavours’, it’s ‘flavaz!’ It’s not ‘much love’ it’s ‘one love’, it’s not ‘great taste’, it’s ‘bangin’’

CONTENT DAYS

To keep Levi involved and present, we plan multiple content days each year with a theme that depends on the message we want to share.

We’ve recently done a BBQ shoot at Levi’s home. Showing Levi behind the BBQ, using the sauces, cooking up a feast, using the new Chilli Jams, and being a general gent in the kitchen. It allows us to capture natural, relatable content for social media in places where Levi is comfortable.

SAUCE 🤝 DRINKS

Levi has two key product ranges: Reggae Reggae Sauce and Caribbean soft drinks. So along with the ‘Levi’s Roots’ content pillar, we created two separate pillars dedicated to his products (to connect him and the products together).

By giving the products their own pillars, it gives us the creative freedom to explore content formats, ideas and and mini campaigns all with a singular product focus.

SIMPLE, RELATABLE FOOD OCCASIONS

To position the Reggae Reggae Jerk BBQ Sauce as a great entry product, we’ve focused on creating simple recipe inspiration that anyone can do at home.

We’ve recently created a social theme that focuses on using the Sauce on classic British foods like Yorkshire puds, sausage rolls and beans on toast. YES to all.

To show the versatility of the drinks, we’re focusing on the usage occasion and showing them in seasonal settings that bring them to life.

POST FORMATS

Social media is a creative platform. It’s not a place to just throw sales talk at people.

We’ve been experimenting with more video and stop motion on Levi’s accounts to bring people on the sensory experience with us. Video is a format that really resonates with the younger audience too. It shares multiple bits of information in one post. It’s entertaining. And it grabs your attention.

Not to mention it’s flavour of the month for Instagram, meaning the algorithm is actively pushing this format to a bigger audience.

INFLUENCERS

Although Levi will remain the face of the brand, we’ve introduced an influencer strategy to support the message that the Caribbean flavours belong on every table.

Collaborating with influencers also helps spread awareness for Levi’s brand as we’re tapping into their audience, as well as reaching our own.

SIMPLE, RELATABLE FOOD OCCASIONS

To position the Reggae Reggae Jerk BBQ Sauce as a great entry product, we’ve focused on sharing and creating simple recipe inspiration that anyone can make at home.

Although a new cuisine to some, you can bring out the Reggae Reggae sauce on more foods than you’d have imagined - trust us, it goes with ANYTHING.

We’ve even recently created a social theme that focuses on using the Reggae Reggae Sauce on classic British foods like yorkshire puds, sausage rolls and beans on toast. And, we can happily say, tried it all and… YES!

To show off the versatility of the drinks, we’re focusing on the usage occasion and food pairings. Out and about in the summer sun, chillin’ with a fresh, fruity cocktail, or refreshing at the family BBQ - the options are endless, we just need to show people that.
