KitchenAid has made the pivot to content creation with KitchenAid Stories -- a new platform dedicated to telling the stories of makers. To kickoff the portal's debut is a short film shot on-location in Hawaii, Colorado and California dubbed The Possibilities of Honey.
The Possibilities of Honey follows the process of honey-making from conception to consumption, offering scenic shots and plenty of educational content to keep the viewer hooked. It's an interesting move from the brand, but according to KitchenAid’s senior brand manager Megan Walters-Pirri "There is a rich global community of makers from every part of the culinary world seeking out content that is in line with their passions...The platform is a place for us to share and celebrate unique maker stories with all of our consumers."
