If the talk around the PSL returning to Starbucks is any indication, August signals the end of summer and transition into fall. Hooray for finally making it over the summer slump! As vacation plans wind down and back to school content picks up speed, you can expect lots of cheap, easy, and quick recipes taking over your social media feeds next month.
It’s also important to keep in mind that August is the perfect time to start planning for Q4! Get ahead of the holiday rush and lock down your influencer marketing strategy for the busiest months of the year ASAP.
We’re counting down the days to the Winter Fancy Food Show by @specialtyfoodassociation in Las Vegas! ✈️ In addition to connecting with our favorite brands, @lauriebuck (CEO & Founder) and @molls.benton (EVP) will be trend-hunting and, of course, product tasting!
We’ll hit the ground running on Sunday, 1/19, and be back bright and early on Monday, 1/20.
Laurie will also be joining her classmates from the Maker Prep course—a program sponsored by the Specialty Food Association. 💻 Their goal: to learn how to create, finance, distribute, and market a proprietary food business.
Will you be there? Let’s catch up! Email us at [email protected] or [email protected]. 💬 Hope to see you soon!

If you’ve ever wondered what the journey from print media editor-in-chief to influencer marketing/talent agency CEO looks like, our founder Laurie Buckle joined the Next in Creator Media podcast to share her story. 🎙️
Tune in for insights on empowering food creators, building brand/influencer collaborations and diversifying revenue streams, along with her thinking on why food content is increasingly becoming intertwined with lifestyle content (hint: food is no longer just sustenance it’s a reflection of personal values and lifestyle choices).
When Lori Harvey drops a “😍😍😍” on a re-creation of her @erewhon Vanilla Matcha Smoothie, you might as well consider it a stamp of approval! 🌟 #CookItCrew member @mymanabites packed this smoothie with superfoods for glowing skin, strong nails, and healthy hair!
