Thanks

My name is Elsa Guézennec and I am a strategy consultant at Added Value Paris, a global innovation consultancy (www.added-value.com).

I am writing because I am currently conducting a research project about Food and Cooking Trends in Japan as well as in three other countries across the globe. For the purpose of this project, I am setting up a temporary blogger community inviting influent bloggers to exchange their points of view about what is coming up in terms of food, ingredients, types of cuisine, cookware…
We will gather 2 bloggers from France, 2 bloggers from Italy, 2 bloggers from Japan and 2 bloggers from China… this should boil down to an exciting and yummy recipe !

This workstream aims at feeding us up in terms of how to innovate in the pots, pans and pressure cookers categories.

I already know you first from your tweeter account and then your website cuteobento.com and I was really struck by the relevance of your contents and style for my project !
This is why I’d like to invite you to participate to this community. Here are the details :

- It would kick start around Jan 31st and would last 3 weeks (until roughly Feb 20th)
- We would ask you to respond to a series of tasks online, whenever you feel like it or can – basically, you can count on 4-5 hours per week across 3 weeks time. You would be asked to post via text, send weblinks, but also film yourself and post videos
- There would be a moment of simultaneous forum chat where we would all get together and chat over a series of subjects (duration: 2hrs ; date to be defined)
- A disclaimer will protect your anonymity – the community’s access will be protected and usage will be limited to our client’s strict private usage (more details available upon request)
- You would be incentivized for this participation, (which will also be fun !!)

Could you be so kind as to tell me whether you would be interested into this project ? We’d love to hear from you very soon.

Thanks !

Looking forward to touching base with you,
Best regards
Elsa
