Food Influencer Marketing Agency
Food influencer marketing is the lever that transfers a creator's trust onto the food product. The community trusts who it follows, and that trust, embedded in a recipe, a review or a video, shapes the purchase decision. It's a measurable investment, with defined objectives and results.
Erbacipollina is the food influencer marketing agency that designs campaigns with gastronomic content creators. We've worked exclusively in Food & Beverage since 2010, which lets us translate a product's characteristics into the creators' language and their community's expectations.
Our starting point is Food Sensitivity, the feel for food built by working inside the sector, which lets us choose the right creator and the right story for every product.

Our Food Influencer Marketing services
An effective campaign starts with analysis that comes before names. With the Food Buyer Personas, we identify the audience the campaign needs to speak to, across HoReCa, retail (GDO) and the end consumer. With The Flavour Index, we analyze category conversations and signals, the themes that are growing, the formats that work, and the creators the industry audience recognizes as authoritative. Profile selection comes out of this crossover, driven by data rather than the names of the moment.
We integrate every campaign into the brand's digital food marketing plan, to support the sales network and improve return on investment.
(Scope)
Selecting Food Creators, Bloggers and Micro-influencers
We choose profiles based on the metrics that matter: actual engagement, fanbase demographics, community sentiment and the quality of the storytelling. Follower count alone isn't a criterion, because it measures the audience, not how closely it listens.
We define the mix based on the objective. The macro-influencer and the well-known chef build reach and brand awareness for products aimed at a broad audience, while the vertical micro-influencer speaks to a knowledgeable niche and drives the highest conversion rates. The best campaigns often combine both levels.
(The Method)
Content Strategy, Creative Coordination and Campaign Management
We coordinate the entire creative side. We write the briefs for the creators and oversee the production of Reels, TikTok, YouTube videos and blog content, so the story stays natural for the community and consistent with the brand identity.
At the close, we deliver reporting on reach, interactions and conversions, measured against the objectives set at the start.

The stages of our food influencer marketing
Every campaign follows a path that leads from analysis to measured results.
- Analysis of brand, target audience, competitors and category conversations.

- Creative brief, content production and coordination.
- Reporting on reach, interactions and conversions.
(Why us)
Why choose an influencer marketing agency specialized in food?
Because food has its own codes: visual, sensory and regulatory. A generalist partner discovers them once the campaign is already underway. An influencer campaign isn't measured in followers, and even less so in food, because the community judges the creator's gastronomic credibility before the product they're presenting. Erbacipollina works exclusively in Food & Beverage and combines food communication expertise with social media marketing, choosing profiles the category audience recognizes as authoritative.
A food influencer marketing campaign with Erbacipollina leaves you with concrete assets.
- The strategy aligned with brand and sales objectives.
- Data-driven creator selection and talent relationship management.
- Coordinated content across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and blog.
- Reporting on reach, interactions and conversions.
