This spot is part of a campaign from Droga5 New York which puts the spotlight on how client Blue Apron is changing the food system for the better, bringing fresh ingredients directly to consumers while positively impacting the environment.
In this :60 (with a :30 version) titled “Better Food, from Scratch” and for the overall campaign, Droga5 blends the worlds of live action and food photography with whimsical animation to share Blue Apron’s story as a leader driving change to our current food system.
Launched in 2012, Blue Apron makes incredible home cooking accessible by delivering original recipes and fresh ingredients to customers nationwide.
“At Droga5 we love the opportunity to partner with bold brands built on making a positive impact on culture and industries,” said Neil Heymann, executive creative director, Droga5. “Blue Apron is an innovative company taking radical steps to improve the food system, yet most people don’t know about the work they’ve been doing behind the scenes for the past few years in this space.”
Major Briggs and Matt Russell of Ruffian directed “Better Food, from Scratch.”
