Yayla
25K+ TikTok, 70K+ Instagram — Lovebrand
TikTok channel built from zero to 25K+ followers for Yayla, Instagram scaled to 70K+. Modernized content positioning established Yayla as a lovebrand with significant increases in user interactions and organic mentions.
Yayla is a leading Turkish food brand in Germany, offering authentic Turkish dairy products, sauces, spices, and ingredients. Serving the large Turkish-German community and increasingly mainstream German consumers, Yayla bridges traditional Turkish cuisine with modern German food culture. The brand is a staple in Turkish supermarkets and increasingly in German retail chains.
What Was the Problem?
Modernizing a traditional food brand for social media without alienating the core Turkish-German community. Yayla needed to expand beyond the ethnic food aisle into mainstream German food culture — making Turkish ingredients aspirational for all home cooks through TikTok and Instagram.
How We Solved It
We transformed Yayla's social presence with recipe-driven content on TikTok and Instagram — showing Turkish ingredients in modern recipe interpretations that appeal to all audiences. The cultural angle created community: authentic cuisine storytelling builds loyal followers who feel represented. First TikTok videos went viral organically, driving 20K+ followers and 100K+ views through culturally authentic food content.
