The Challenge

Turning imperfect produce into a brand story.

Foodland Supermarkets launched their Peculiar Picks range to reduce food waste and support local growers — turning bruised or misshapen fruit and vegetables that might otherwise be discarded into a sustainable option for shoppers. The brief for Fuel My Social was to tell that story the way it deserved: show that just because a piece of fruit looks peculiar on the outside, the texture, quality and taste are never compromised on the inside.

Our Approach

A cinema-grade story about real South Australian growers.

01

Producer-First Storytelling

We collaborated with esteemed SA journalist Nicole Haak and worked alongside producers like Ceravalo Orchards, Gilmore Orchards, Nicol Carrots and Bache Bros to build a narrative anchored in the people actually growing the food.

02

On-Farm Production

Using cinema-grade cameras and drones, we captured the farms where these unique fruits and vegetables are grown — highlighting the meticulous production processes that keep quality and taste uncompromised despite their peculiar appearance.

03

A Premiere-Worthy Edit

We produced a stunning 5-minute hero film emphasising sustainable farming practices and the commitment to reducing food waste — delivered as the opening scene at Foodland’s biggest awards night of 2023.

The Results

A hero video that premiered to a standing ovation.

The video was a resounding success — drawing significant attention to the Peculiar Picks program and reinforcing Foodland’s commitment to sustainability and supporting local producers. The visual storytelling captivated the audience, creating a powerful emotional connection and raising awareness about the importance of reducing food waste.

It received widespread acclaim, generated positive feedback from attendees and boosted Foodland’s reputation as a leader in sustainable practices. The project demonstrates Fuel My Social’s ability to craft impactful visual narratives that resonate deeply with audiences and drive meaningful engagement.
