Family Meal Favorites – A Taste of Tradition with PLAY Creative

From our tables to yours

At PLAY Creative, we believe in bringing people together. Our family meals are a testament to that philosophy, blending the comforts of tradition with an inventive spirit. Dishes like Vitel Tone, Mantecol, Chivito Asado, and the beloved pionono de dulce de leche offer not only flavor but stories, each bite woven with memories and cultural richness. Today, I want to share why these dishes mean so much to us and how they reflect our values at PLAY.

The Power of Tradition: Insights into Why We Gather

Family-style meals are much more than food; they foster a sense of belonging and connection that goes beyond the table. A study by the National Library of Medicine found that family meals contribute to well-being, support healthier eating habits, and can even boost emotional intelligence in young adults. For us, this aligns with our belief that relationships are the backbone of everything we do. Just as our campaigns bring brands and customers together, these meals bring families and friends closer.

Visualize the Scene: Imagine a long table lined with Chivito Asado, platters of lamb, and bright salads next to the deep, flavorful Vitel Tone and topped off with the sweetness of a pionono de dulce de leche. Each dish contributes its own color, aroma, and texture – a sensory experience that is familiar yet unforgettable.

PLAY’s Top Family Meal Picks and Their Cultural Richness

  1. Vitel Tone and Mantecol  

   Vitel Tone, a traditional Italian dish of veal served with tuna and caper sauce, offers a distinct combination of creamy, tangy flavors that showcase Europe’s culinary diversity. Paired with Mantecol, an Argentine classic of peanut nougat, we celebrate the perfect fusion of salty and sweet—a metaphor for our team’s blend of strategy and creativity.  

   

   Takeaway Insight: Just as these ingredients come together harmoniously, our marketing strategies balance creativity with analytics. This balance is what ensures that we can offer our clients campaigns that resonate on both emotional and measurable levels.

  1. Chivito Asado and Steak

   Our Chivito Asado and steak dishes are crowd-pleasers, much like our successful campaigns. Grilled to perfection, these dishes emphasize quality and simplicity, celebrating meat as a staple in family traditions worldwide. A 2023 survey by Taste Atlas revealed that grilled meats are considered comfort food across cultures, especially in family settings. At PLAY, we believe in sticking to the fundamentals, too—clear messaging, strong visuals, and unwavering quality.  

   

   Visual: Picture the sizzling sound of lamb on the grill, with flames licking the edges, creating a slightly charred exterior. Each cut of meat tells its own story, and so does each campaign we create.

  1. Clerico – A Toast to Collaboration

   Clerico, a fruity South American drink similar to sangria, adds a festive touch to our table. Freshly chopped fruits mix with wine, creating a drink that’s refreshing and welcoming. For us, Clerico is a symbol of the collaborative nature of our work, where different departments come together, each bringing a unique flavor to the mix.   

   

   Data Insight: A report from Nielsen suggests that social connections at work improve productivity by up to 25%. At PLAY, we see these meals as a bonding experience that brings departments together and ultimately strengthens our work culture.

  1. Pionono de Dulce de Leche – The Sweet Finale

   The pionono, a soft sponge roll filled with dulce de leche, offers the ultimate sweet treat, reminding us to enjoy the journey, not just the outcome. Like our strategic marketing milestones, each layer of the pionono is distinct yet unified, embodying our attention to detail.  

   Engagement Insight: Research indicates that visual and sensory experiences increase engagement by 55%, according to a study published in the Journal of Marketing. A dessert like pionono, with its inviting appearance and delightful taste, mirrors the sensory journey we create for our audiences.

A Lasting Impression – Creating Connections Beyond the Plate

As we look toward the future, these traditional dishes inspire us to keep innovating while staying grounded in our values. Just like a family meal, our goal at PLAY Creative is to create experiences that are inclusive, memorable, and impactful. 

Whether it’s a robust dish like steak or a delicate dessert like pionono, the ingredients we choose—both in our meals and our marketing—reflect our dedication to quality and connection. Our approach combines the familiar and the new, crafting campaigns that are as layered as the flavors on our table.

So, as you plan your next family meal or marketing campaign, remember: the magic often lies in simplicity, quality, and the people you bring together. At PLAY Creative, that’s something we live by every day.
