You’re putting out content, but is anyone really noticing? Or are your posts getting lost in the feed?

I sat down with Sarah Kiryshin and Mandy Humphreys, co-founders of Content Bites, to uncover how food and beverage brands can make content that doesn’t just exist—it connects, excites, and sells. These two know why “beautiful food” is often your golden ticket and how to produce it fast without burning out.

In this episode, we break down exactly what works in 2026:

📱How consumers are actually watching content - and how to grab them before they scroll past 

⏱️ The video length sweet spot that keeps eyes on your brand 

🍓Why showing your food in its best light isn’t optional - it’s critical 

⚡Quick content production hacks that actually generate excitement 

❤️ The secret to creating posts that build real connection and loyalty
