About us
Project Cluck-it is the codename for an audacious vegan food brand launching in January 2021. We’re aiming to be the Banksy of the food industry: rebellious, playful and empowering a food revolution that will capture the attention of a mainstream flexitarian audience.
You’ll be working with Matthew Glover (Co-Founder of Veganuary, and Managing Director of Veg Capital) and Adam Lyons (an award-winning restauranteur and chef).
With a ‘f*ck meat, eat plants’ attitude we’ll be using bold digital and print advertising to reduce animal suffering, protect our planet and introduce people to some of the best-tasting plant-based food in existence (modest, aren’t we!)
