To the delight of barbecue lovers everywhere, Byron’s BBQ joined forces with four influential food bloggers to inspire home cooks of all levels with delicious recipes and meal ideas.

“Studies have shown that bloggers are among the top consideration set to whom consumers turn for product recommendations and recipes ideas,” said Liz Fohr, Assistant Marketing and Brand Manager for Byron’s. “In fact, 67 percent of consumers like to read product reviews by trusted experts – like bloggers – before making a purchase. Therefore, developing relationships with these key influencers was a natural fit to illustrate to consumers the ease of preparation and delicious taste of authentic, hickory-smoked Byron’s BBQ.”

Byron’s 2015 ambassador program included collaboration with the following bloggers:

- Deep South Dish
- Family Fresh Meals
- The Gunny Sack
- Mom On Timeout

Recipes – liked Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese by Deep South Dish and Loaded BBQ Pork Potato Casserole by Mom On Timeout – were created by each blogger to pay tribute to two key barbecue seasons: national BBQ month and summer. After each campaign ran its course, the results were tabulated, and the reach is staggering: nearly 20 million impressions garnered through a combination of blog readership and social media engagement.

By partnering with notable bloggers with loyal and engaged readerships, Byron's BBQ aided awareness of the brand as a top barbecue offering available at Sam's Club stores nationwide that delivers on taste, authenticity and ease of preparation.
