From 1% to 11% brand awareness: how WeCook built a brand worth caring about

From 1% to 11% brand awareness: how WeCook built a brand worth caring about

What does it actually take to build a brand that earns permission to expand into retail, land cultural partnerships, and grow aided awareness from 1% to 11%? Matthew Morein, Senior Director of Brand and Content at WeCook, has the answer, and it starts with a question most teams never ask: if this company disappeared tomorrow, what would the world be losing?

Matthew walks Bryan through how WeCook shifted from a purely functional, convenience-driven brand to one rooted in the joy of mealtime, why brand is made of clay and not cement, and how authentic ambassador partnerships with PK Subban and Marie-Pierre Morin drove real brand awareness results in a notoriously difficult subscription category.

Topics discussed:

  • Moving from functional messaging to emotional brand positioning

  • Advocating for brand investment when ROI is hard to measure

  • Building ambassador partnerships based on authentic product love

  • Growing aided brand awareness from 1% to 11% in Ontario

  • Balancing AI tools with authentic storytelling in content production

  • Expanding from DTC subscription into retail and new channel opportunities

  • Using cultural collaborations to generate earned media and brand heat

  • Why brand is never finished and must stretch into new channels
