With 60% of barramundi in Australia imported, Papaya embarked on a three-year long program and called Australians to Ask for Aussie Barra. This multi-faceted program had both a trade and consumer component to secure genuine purchase change:
Gained media coverage in ABC News, Today Tonight, Weekend Sunrise, Daily Telegraph, 2GB Radio, Studio 10, Goodfood and Hospitality Magazine. We called for consumers to purchase Australian over imported barramundi.
60% of chefs indicated they will include Australian barramundi on menus in the next 6 months thanks to Papaya’s unique trade engagement program across Sydney and Melbourne.
Built the consumer database from scratch with a free digital cookbook using recipes created by Australia’s top chefs, this has been downloaded nearly 2,500 times.

Papaya managed the launch of a new product range, Perfectly Balanced, in partnership with us. The range features Aussie favourites like chipolatas, meatballs and skewers infused with nutritious vegetables such as sweet potato and carrot. Papaya brought the product to life through recipe research, a stunning recipe shoot and PR campaign. The professional team pulled off studio quality & styled imagery within a short time frame at extremely good value. We are delighted with the natural imagery and weeknight friendly recipes which look great in media and across our social media channels.
