team cookit
For starters, we love what we do. We love strategizing with our creators, helping them achieve their creative and financial goals. We love brainstorming with our brand clients, helping them craft campaign concepts that align with their goals. And we love bringing our creators and brands together to make some marketing magic.
We know that the secret to success in this business lies in the hands of expert creators who inspire, educate and entertain an audience loyal to them and their content. At CookIt, that expertise always leads the conversation between influencer and brand. Both are invited to our virtual table where they have the opportunity to talk, share goals and create a true partnership.
We are a boutique talent management agency representing a growing number of the top food creators in the business.

A little appreciation post for the team behind our brand refresh! ✨ If you’ve visited our website over the past year - whether to learn more about CookIt Media, apply to our Talent Roster, or get in touch - you’ve already seen the incredible work of @laruecreativestudio.
As CookIt Media continued to grow beyond our roots in food and expand our talent roster, we knew our brand needed to evolve, too.
La.Rue Creative Studio helped us create a refreshed brand identity and website that truly reflects who we are today - and where we’re headed.
We’re so grateful for their partnership throughout the process and couldn’t be happier with the result. Thank you for helping shape this next chapter of CookIt Media! 💛
@giordanospizza partnered with @adamwitt on CookIt’s Talent Roster to shine a light on a menu favorite that often gets overshadowed by the brand’s iconic deep dish: its Tavern Style Pizza! 🍕 Thin, cracker-crisp, and cut into squares, it’s a Chicago classic that was ready for a broader audience.
Adam’s fun, personality-driven content made him a natural fit to showcase the menu item, creating a campaign that felt authentic while giving Giordano’s Tavern Style Pizza the spotlight it deserves!
We’re excited to welcome another incredible creator to our talent roster - Brandi of @theonepotmomma_! 🎉
Brandi is a Southern Louisiana creator whose approachable one-pot recipes, entertaining ideas, and authentic family lifestyle have built a loyal, engaged community. As a working mom and entrepreneur with an extensive design background, she brings a unique perspective to food, home, and entertaining - creating polished, relatable content that inspires her audience and makes brand partnerships feel seamless!
Celebrating @phillycreamchs’ NEW Lactose Free Cream Cheese with the @zenograms team at @sarabethsnyc! 😋
We had the best time sampling the new lactose-free cream cheese in a variety of delicious ways, getting our gifted @lecreuset butter dishes engraved, choosing our favorite mix-ins to create a custom cream cheese blend that we got to take home with a side of fresh bagels.
It was also so great to finally meet so many of our contacts and friendly faces in person and continue building those connections! 💛
A little glimpse into CookIt’s summer so far! 🌞 We’ve been heads down growing our talent roster, booking new partnerships, and keeping the momentum going, but we’ve also been making sure to actually enjoy the season (shoutout to Summer Friday!)
