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.

Say hello to Alexi of @eatwell.withlex, who recently joined the CookIt roster! 🎉
As a DC-based mom of two, Alexi knows firsthand how overwhelming feeding kids can feel - so she created a space to help, sharing baby, toddler, and family meals her kids actually eat. What sets her apart is that she goes beyond the recipe to tackle real everyday struggles like picky eating and decision fatigue, giving busy parents approachable, stress-free solutions they can feel confident about.
Last week, our LA-based team member @molls.benton made her way to NYC! 🚕 A working session with @ronninicole at @withjulyhq, time with fellow talent managers from other agencies, and of course, plenty of scoping out the food scene.
Some of our best work happens exactly like this, in person, across time zones, learning from the wider industry around us.
This is what CookIt culture looks like: a team that shows up for each other, wherever we are. 💛
Last night, CookIt team and talent hit Brooklyn for @oonihq’s launch event for their new Halo Core Spiral Mixer! A few highlights: watching the Halo Core in action, light bites, dessert from @diljanbakery, a live DJ, and even a Flour Sack Towel embroidered on the spot to take home. 🍞
This is what CookIt culture looks like, showing up alongside our talent and building real relationships with brands! 🙌
We’re excited to welcome another incredible creator duo to our talent roster - Bri and David of @signsofgoodfood! 🎉
Bri and David create food content unlike anything else out there, blending professional culinary technique with sign language to spotlight the “signs of good food” - from standout dishes to the specific techniques that elevate them. As Deaf creators, they weave storytelling throughout, sharing food-related signs from sign languages around the world while putting their own twist on dishes, ranging from easy to fine dining level. Their content is a masterclass in technique, culture, and community - making brand partnerships across culinary & kitchenware, fine dining & restaurant, and accessibility-focused campaigns feel both meaningful and seamless!
Another exciting update from the CookIt team: we are so proud to announce that Carly has been promoted to Talent Manager! 🎉
@carly_vanderlee’s confidence, poise, and unwavering attention to detail have made her a standout on our team. Now stepping into managing her own roster, she’ll bring that same care to every aspect of her creators’ journeys, always championing them every step of the way. 🙌
Congratulations, Carly! We’re so excited to watch you thrive in this next chapter! 💛
