Case Study - Little Spoon
The fastest growing US Infant and toddler food company Little Spoon chose to source it's dairy from New Zealand .
Produced by Joanna Marshall, The Extra Mile follows a journey across New Zealand, travelling farm to farm to meet the people behind what Little Spoon believes is the world's highest-quality organic whole milk. Getting up close with the sourcing behind its formula, the film set out to see it first hand and make sure it was everything it claimed to be.
That journey became The Extra Mile, which has now won a Silver Telly Award in Branded Content – Food & Beverage, selected from more than 13,000 submissions worldwide.
