We’re excited to welcome @kendalrmajor to the CookIt Media team as a Talent Manager! 🎉
Kendal’s experience spans sports, entertainment and influencer marketing. She’s booked professional athletes and celebrities for NFL Films programming, licensed third party assets for entertainment, and founded her own boutique talent management agency advocating for diverse content creators.
A Seattle local with pieces of her heart in New Jersey and New York, Kendal is passionate about building meaningful partnerships and is excited to bring her talent management background to her own roster of creators at CookIt, helping drive authentic, impactful campaigns!
Outside of work, you’ll find her watching Kdramas and Cdramas, learning Japanese and searching for the next great foodie spot. What’s in her AirPods? Anything from R&B, electronic and dance to Kpop. And her favorite food? A bowl of healing noodle soup. She craves phở during chilly PNW months, but equally loves ramen, hot pot and any comforting bowl of nourishing broth. 🍜
One of our favorite moments from the CookIt offsite? The charcuterie board competition! 🧀
In honor of Meg from @ainttooproudtomeg launching her Charcuterie Board Deck, we took two recipes, the Salami Flight and California Grazin’, and everyone got to put their own spin on a board. It was such a fun way to bond as a team, especially while making something inspired by one of our own talent. 💛
Celebrating and supporting the accomplishments of our talent is what we love to do, and this one was delicious. 🙌
Meg’s Charcuterie Board Deck is officially out now and makes a great holiday gift for anyone who loves to host (or just loves to snack). Congrats, Meg, we’re so proud of this one! 🎉
Welcome Kelsey of @littlebitsof_realfood to the CookIt talent roster! 💛 Based in Mission Viejo, CA, Kelsey is all about balance: eating well and caring for her body during the week, then hosting friends and enjoying herself on the weekend. In a disconnected world, she encourages her followers to gather, whether that’s a game night, a football party, or having a family over for great food. A natural fit for campaigns around hosting and entertaining! Beyond the kitchen, she loves lifting, pilates, and concerts.
Last week, Ronica of @mymanabites took the stage at @meta HQ! She spoke on the Empowered User Panel at the Facebook Leadership Summit, sharing her journey as a creator with an audience of 300+ @facebook leaders. And as a bonus, every attendee went home with her @floraandmana spice kits! 🙌
Moments like this are why we love what we do at CookIt: getting to back creators as their stories reach bigger and bigger stages. Congrats, Ronica! 🎉
Team CookIt is Team Hot Sauce! 🔥 @melindasfoods is a long-term partner of ours, and we’re so appreciative of the relationship we’ve built with them. On top of that, they surprised our team with generous packages of hot sauces, and we’ve been having the best time trying them all!
Here’s how a few of us have been enjoying them:
@mariah.gr on chicken nuggets
@carly_vanderlee on tacos
@whatscookingwithaurora on chicken wings
@meg_hallinan on pizza
Thank you, @melindasfoods, for always showing up for us and for our talent. We’re so grateful for this partnership and everything that comes with it! 🌶️
