Create docu-style video profiles of real, interesting, and active social media influencers who are current Orgain users and are incorporating clean nutrition in their lives in unique and inspiring ways.

The goal of this project is to find social media influencers who are actual Orgain users and create a suite of docu-style videos that tells their story in a way that is vibrant and energetic, and shows how they incorporate Orgain and clean nutrition in their lives in unique and inspiring ways.


Inspired by Andrew's incredible true story (the founder of Orgain), Orgain is looking for Tongal filmmakers to source and profile social media influencers who use and love Orgain. Whether they are pro athletes (like Bryson), breakout chefs, or fitness enthusiasts training for a major event, we're looking for social media influencers who have the potential to grow in leaps in bounds and would be interested in a larger partnership with Orgain after this project.


Your proposed subject should have at least 100K followers on Instagram and a professional or clear lifestyle link to nutrition and health & wellness that is reflected in their social channels so that integrating Orgain into their posts feels credible and natural alongside the rest of their content. Ideally, their feeds will show an active and engaged following that regularly connects with the influencer in meaningful ways. 


DELIVERABLES: 

  • One :60-:90 Authentic Story hero (16x9, 1x1, 9x16)
  • One :30 version (16x9, 1x1, 9x16)
  • One :15 version (16x9, 1x1, 9x16)
  • One bespoke social asset up to :60 (16x9, 1x1, 9x16), authentic to the subject's story and/or interests (i.e. a recipe video, quick tips, etc.) 

The social media influencer you pitch must also agree to create 3 posts on their social channels featuring Orgain products. This could be a story, in-feed post, or IGTV video.

 

TIMELINE: For the full project timeline please see the Assets section.

 

EXPOSURE:

 

TARGET AUDIENCE:

  • Late 20s–mid 40s
  • "Health Prioritizers" that are intentional about food: minimally processed, organic when possible, plant-based, low sugar, no carb. "Eat the rainbow" approach to food, with a focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients
  • Active lifestyles: parents, athletes, hard workers, curious; they prioritize their health and wellness no matter how busy they are.
  • Sees healthy food and clean eating as a way to enrich their lives vs a detractor
  • They 'shop the margins' of the supermarket (rather than the center aisles, packed with processed and frozen foods) and don't see eating clean as a handicap but as an enjoyable key factor in a rich, rewarding life. 
  • They prioritize active, healthy lifestyles, and know that Orgain products support their goals with nutrition that is clean and convenient.

 

TONE: Honest, straightforward, credible, witty, a little edgy

 

OPEN BID: 

  • This is an open bid project, so you will get to set your own budget proposal, up to $60,000 per suite of videos (including the influencer's fee), keeping in mind each suite should follow a single distinct subject. The Sponsor is interested in seeing tiered pricing options, so please feel free to submit various versions of your pitch at budget, target, and reach price points within that price range.
  • By participating in this open bid project, creators acknowledge that the Sponsor is under no obligation to greenlight a bid. Though most open bid projects on our platform do move forward with a greenlit bid, we will notify you in the event the Sponsor decides not to fund any bids via the project forum. Regardless of the result, all open bid submissions will be reviewed and evaluated by the Sponsor and the project team.


EXECUTIONAL MANDATORIES: 

  • People featured in the videos must be actual social media influencers who use Orgain. Please indicate their followings on social media in your treatment. They need to have at least 100K followers on Instagram to be considered as a subject.
  • Your authentic stories should drive awareness and purchase for viewers by establishing credibility and cultural relevance for Orgain in the health & wellness category.
  • Position Orgain as the choice for consumers dedicated to a healthy lifestyle.
  • Must include the Orgain campaign line: Good, clean nutrition.™
