    WHAT'S YOUR GUT SAYING?

Transcript

If I were to create a cheese brand, this is how I'd do it. I'd call it Gut Feelings, and make it all about gut healthy cheese that celebrates all kind of emotions. Gut Feelings is a line of probiotic cheese plus jam pairings, each one styled around a specific emotion. Each pairing is built to support your gut health, fermented, cultured, low lactose, or vegan, but none of it feels like wellness. It feels like girl dinner with an identity crisis that's actually delicious and at times cheesy. The flavors would include soft launch, which is a truffle cashew cheese and fig and rose, trust issues, which is an aged good and apple cider jelly, and barely holding on, which is a brie and lavender blueberry. For the launch campaign, I would imagine your gut as your sidekick rank call it what's your gut saying. It would be shot in a two thousands Lizzie McGuire style where your inner gut voice becomes your chaotic sidekick. Each visual pairs a girl with her animated emotional alter ego, commenting on everything from texting her ex to soft launching a situationship while snacking on probiotic cheese and jam. Because your gut always has something to say, and now your cheese makes it even better. Would you buy this? You know I would.
