BOSTON, Nov. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Grapevine Logic, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ideanomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDEX), and Holy Grail Steak Co has today announced a partnership to bring premium Wagyu Beef to a wide audience through a grassroots network of nano-influencers. The partnership would give Grapevine Logic a competitive commission for every sale.
Grapevine Village will focus on nano-influencers with a social media following of less than 10,000 in order to saturate social media feeds with authentic content related to preparing and cooking Holy Grail Steak Co's premium Wagyu Beef.
According to research from NPD Group, Inc, 82% of the meals Americans eat are cooked and prepared at home. "More consumers than ever use tools like Instagram, YouTube, or Twitter to discover recipes from their favorite influencers that they can cook instead of going out," said Grapevine Village CEO, Kristen Standish. "We are leveraging the trust that these 'Creators' have built with their communities to drive sales and build genuine conversations around the product. I'm excited to see the authentic and engaging content these creators build for Holy Grail Steak Co."
Grapevine Village's global network of nano-influencers are primed to increase accessibility for genuine Kobe Beef. Cameron Hughes, founder of Holy Grail Steak Co, hopes to scale up his distribution through activating top creators. "Premium Kobe Beef is usually perceived as the territory of the most luxurious spenders," said Hughes. "Every-day creators, like the ones we will be collaborating with for this campaign, will be instrumental in bringing our product to a wider audience. With Grapevine Village's global network of nano-influencers, Holy Grail Steak Co. can become the center of a global Wagyu Beef movement."
Research from HypeAuditor demonstrates that the engagement rate of nano-influencers is twice as high as that of other groups of creators on social media. Grapevine Village is poised to maximize impact by leveraging these creators at scale and drive ROI for brands like Holy Grail Steak Co.
