Case Study: Kohersen and Dariusz Baryga - how an ambassador promotes a brand through authenticity and engagement
One example of successfully implemented ambassador cooperation is a project for the Kohersen brand, which was conceptualised and implemented by the Good One PR public relations agency. The aim was to create the brand's first ever long-term relationship with an ambassador who would not only support the product communicationbut will also strengthen Kohersen's expert image.
Choosing Dariusz Baryga - a chef with many years of experience, a culinary expert and a passion for cooking - was a natural and considered step for Good One PR. His passion for high quality solutions and a modern approach to traditional Polish flavours matched perfectly with the brand's philosophy. Kohersen, whose mission is to strive for perfection in every detail, found in Dariusz an authentic ambassador of the company's values. Such synergy has allowed the brand to successfully build a positive image and increase customer confidence.
As part of a comprehensively planned collaboration, Dariusz Baryga:
- He became the official brand ambassador and face of Kohersen's social media campaign.
Thanks to his recognisability and expert positioning, Dariusz has become a natural carrier of brand values. His presence on social media platforms has helped to increase product recognition and build audience trust. - He organised a series of cooking workshops at the Juszkiewicz&Baryga studio in Giżycko, under the patronage of Kohersen.
The workshop not only allowed direct contact with potential customers, but also demonstrated the practical application of Kohersen products, reinforcing brand awareness through real-world user experience. - She runs cooking workshops using Kohersen equipment, building customer loyalty.
By demonstrating the devices in practice, Dariusz not only educates participants but also convinces them of the quality and functionality of the products, which has a direct impact on customer loyalty and their positive associations with the brand. - He became the face and host of the Kohersen brand's YouTube channel, where he presents traditional recipes in a modern twist.
The regular publication of recipes and cooking tips on YouTube builds community engagement, increases the reach of communication and strengthens the brand's image as an expert in its category. The regular recording sessions in the concept developed by Good One PR are produced in collaboration with graphic design agency Diea. - She regularly shares recipes and cooking tips on the brand's social media, supporting daily communication with her audience.
