Cajun BCN x Orchidea

Fried, Filmed, and Viral: How Orchidea Helped Cajun BCN Become Barcelona’s Spiciest Social Launch

The Challenge:

Launching a Bold Brand with a Southern Crunch

Cajun BCN brought a new kind of heat to Barcelona—crispy, Southern-style fried chicken inspired by Louisiana street food culture. But they needed more than just flavor. They needed:

  • A social-first launch strategy
  • Content that captured their brand’s energy and soul
  • Visibility among Gen Z foodies, American expats, and delivery-first diners
  • A visual identity as spicy as the menu

That’s where Orchidea stepped in—serving up strategy, content, and creators.

The Objectives

  • Launch Cajun BCN across TikTok and Instagram with maximum impact
  • Build a recognizable visual brand identity for social channels
  • Activate micro-influencers to spark local buzz and UGC
  • Drive foot traffic, weekend lines, and delivery orders from the jump

The Strategy

We designed a content-rich, personality-driven launch focused on storytelling, visuals, and food hype.

Phase 1: The Look + The Hook

We established Cajun BCN’s social identity from scratch:

🎨 Grid design with punchy brand colors and textures

📸 Weekly shoots—menu shots, customer POVs, behind-the-scenes

🎬 Reels and TikToks featuring “first bites”, staff intros, and trending audio overlays

The tone? Bold, playful, Southern-fried fun with Barcelona edge.

Phase 2: The People’s Chicken

We hand-selected local foodies, student creators, and lifestyle influencers to kick off our micro-campaigns. Deliveries were filmed, reactions were real, and spicy chicken became the hottest content in town.

🔥 Unboxings and ASMR crunch edits

📍 Influencer-led visits to the shop

📲 Reposts + Stories featuring community UGC

Creative Highlights

  • 🍗 “First Bite” reaction reels—eyes wide, lips on fire
  • 🎞 POV-style TikToks walking into Cajun BCN for the first time
  • 🤳 On-brand lo-fi edits with hot sauce splashes and crunch SFX
  • 🚲 Delivery TikToks: “You’re not ready for this chicken…”
  • 🎙 Quick reviews: “It’s giving Nashville…but better”

The Impact

From zero followers to cult favorite in under two months, Cajun BCN became more than just a restaurant—it became a social obsession.

With a flavor-packed feed, influencer energy, and crispy content, Orchidea helped turn followers into fans, and fans into customers. No gimmicks. Just good food, great content, and a feed you could almost taste.

Because in 2024, fried chicken doesn’t just belong in the kitchen. It belongs on your For You Page.
