  • “As a content creator, the Tastemaker Conference feels like I’m getting dropped into a giant group chat where everyone actually understands the grind. They bring experts in our industry who teach valuable tools for everything from SEO, to email marketing, to finance; and they organize panels with successful creators that we can relate to about everything from navigating the creator-economy shifts, to working with brands, to creating smart workflows for our businesses. Between sessions, I always find myself forming new connections or meeting with old friends about new tools, new hacks and new ways of growing my brand. The Tastemaker Conference is a pillar in our community and has brought so much value and worth over the years!”

  • “Being a guest speaker at the Tastemaker Conference 2025 in Las Vegas was such a meaningful experience. Surrounded by an incredibly passionate community of content creators, I felt right at home. It was more than just a masterfully executed event—it was a space filled with inspiration, encouragement, and genuine connection. I had the chance to meet so many kind, talented people (including some I’ve admired from afar!), and those conversations naturally led to new friendships and collaborations. The support I felt—from familiar faces and new ones—reminded me why I love doing what I do. If you’re looking for a place to grow, share, and feel truly empowered, this conference has a special kind of magic.”

    Hungryroot + Tastemaker

    Campaign Recap

    The Challenge

    Hungryroot wanted to connect directly with top food creators to strengthen brand awareness and grow its creator marketing program through authentic, creator-led content. With over 500 creators attending in person, the opportunity was clear: transform in-person engagement into long-term partnerships, content creation, and brand visibility.

    THE STRATEGY

    Hungryroot’s strategy centered on real-world engagement. By bringing a curated selection of their products to the Tastemaker Snack Bar activation, the team transformed sampling into strategy—using in-person interactions to gauge genuine creator enthusiasm and compatibility. This approach replaced traditional online outreach with authentic, efficient connection, accelerating partnership building and strengthening brand alignment.

    THE Results

    The Tastemaker + Hungryroot partnership exceeded expectations:

    • 26 long-term creator partnerships secured through the campaign

    • 130+ organic and paid social posts

    • 528,915 audience reach in 60 days

    • A library of engaging video, image, and blog content that continues to drive organic discovery
