KEO digital was born out of the development and management of the hugely successful Chicken Out website that accompanied Hugh’s Chicken Run series in 2009. Over 180,000 people signed up on the website to support the campaign and, when asked to help pay for the tabling of a Special Resolution at the Tesco AGM, those 180,000 raised somewhere over £88,000 in less than a day. The division has drawn on much of the talent responsible for the digital output of River Cottage, which currently encompasses a community of over 250,000 people on the award-winning River Cottage.net, a DVD series and a number of online courses.  Since it started KEO digital has created further successful campaigns and projects, notably Landshare, and has built up an experienced core team, which has already won several winning industry awards for its work.

The growth of the River Cottage brand is a perfect example of this strategy in action. It grew out the success and longevity of the River Cottage TV series but uses a variety of different media outlets to encourage people to think about the food they eat in a new way, from the website to DVD’s, books, courses, events and even the canteens. The unique experience of building this brand provides KEO digital with the history, knowledge and integrity to engage new brands and organizations in the creation and management of new, deeply engaged communities.
