Taste of Cricket

England and Wales Cricket Board

Cook-along content series

A celebration of cuisine, community and cricket

To support the launch of ECB’s Taste of Cricket cookbook and accompanying live events, we produced a cook-along content series hosted by TV presenter and foodie, Chris Bavin. Spotlighting signature recipes contributed by community clubs that would feature in the cookbook, the aim was to create engaging content that resonated with target audiences across earned media, as well as ECBs owned, paid, and influencer-driven channels.

The campaign delivered impressive engagement across platforms, amplifying the reach of the Taste of Cricket initiative. Key results included:

634.2K organic views across digital channels

45,305 clicks to ECB’s content and cookbook landing page
4.02% click-through rate (CTR)—significantly outperforming Facebook’s benchmark of 1.05–2%

By combining food, culture, and cricket, the Taste of Cricket campaign successfully fostered inclusivity while driving meaningful engagement within the sport’s diverse communities.
