How Caraway Home reached 8M+ feeds with chefs, food, and lifestyle creators.

Caraway Home wanted creator content that put its non-toxic cookware in real kitchens, not in studio product shots. Ainfluencer activated 10 creators across four worlds: a private chef (Arya Hamedani), home food creators (Andrea Lynn at The Paper Plate Gourmet, Caitlyn Matheny), wellness and fitness creators integrating it into meal prep (Eric Hinman, Lindsey Bomgren), and lifestyle and parenting voices (Lina Ghoneim M.Ed., Nancy Cruz, Rachel Vogt, Ku life, Jason Stein). The result: 10 native pieces, a 14% engagement rate, and 8M+ combined reach.

The Playbook

From studio product shots to cookware in real kitchens.

CHALLENGE

A non-toxic cookware brand that needs to be demonstrated in real kitchens, not photographed on white backgrounds.

Caraway Home sells direct-to-consumer non-toxic cookware in a category historically dominated by big-box retail. The category challenge: cookware is bought after consumers see it perform, not after they see a studio photo of an empty pan. Real-context demonstration is what closes the gap, a private chef using it on a recipe, a home cook on a comfort meal, a wellness creator on weekly meal prep. The challenge: place the product into real kitchens across chef, food, wellness, and lifestyle creator worlds, with consistent on-camera use of the product in each.

SOLUTION

10 creators. Cookware in real kitchens. 10 pieces.

Ainfluencer activated 10 creators across 4 niches anchored in real kitchen demonstration. Private chef and food professionals: Arya Hamedani (Private Chef), Caitlyn Matheny, Andrea Lynn (The Paper Plate Gourmet) for cozy comfort food. Wellness and fitness creators using the cookware in meal prep and routine cooking: Eric Hinman (wellness and athletic lifestyle), Lindsey Bomgren (Nourish Move Love). Lifestyle and parenting voices showing the cookware in everyday home cooking: Lina Ghoneim M.Ed., Nancy Cruz, Rachel Vogt, Ku life, and Jason Stein. 10 native pieces across recipe demos, meal prep, kitchen tours, and everyday cooking moments.

RESULT

8M+ reach. 14% engagement. 10 pieces. Real-kitchen demonstration in every piece.

A 14% engagement rate, well above DTC cookware paid social benchmarks. Native presence across chef-quality recipe demos, home-cook comfort food, wellness meal prep, and family-kitchen lifestyle. Library of 10 native creator pieces Caraway Home can repurpose across paid social, retailer co-marketing, retargeting, and recipe-led campaign extensions.

Why Macro

Why chefs and food creators were the right anchor for Caraway Home.

For a DTC cookware brand, generic lifestyle placements waste the product. Cookware sells when it's used on camera, in a real kitchen, on a real recipe. Private chef Arya Hamedani gives professional-grade demonstration. Cozy food creator Andrea Lynn (The Paper Plate Gourmet) and Caitlyn Matheny put it into the kind of weeknight cooking the audience actually does. Wellness creators Eric Hinman and Lindsey Bomgren integrate it into meal-prep workflows that show durability and ease of cleaning. Parenting and home-lifestyle voices (Lina Ghoneim M.Ed., Nancy Cruz, Ku life) put it into family kitchens where the non-toxic angle lands hardest. Every piece is a demonstration, not a static shot. The result: native content that doubles as recipe inspiration, with engagement that runs well above paid CPG cookware placements.

"Ainfluencer put our cookware into the kind of kitchens consumers actually want to copy. A private chef on a service-quality recipe, a home cook on comfort food, a wellness creator on weekly meal prep, parents using it in family kitchens where the non-toxic story matters most. Every piece felt like a real demonstration, not a placement."
