Inside the Marketing Strategy Powering Young Chefs Academy’s Growth

How Young Chefs Academy Turns Smart Marketing Into Real Growth

Young Chefs Academy was recently featured in the Franchise Times Top 400 Exclusive Webinar Series. This event brings top franchise brands together to share what helps them grow. The session, Inside the Marketing Strategies of Top 400 Leaders, focused on how brands keep families engaged. CEO Leigh Feldman joined the panel and gave insight into the strategies behind Young Chefs Academy’s success.

The goal is simple. Connect with families and help kids develop confidence in the kitchen.

A Message That Parents Quickly Understand

Parents are always looking for meaningful activities for their children. Cooking is both fun and educational. It teaches kids new skills they can use for life.

Young Chefs Academy highlights this message clearly through:

• Hands-on cooking fun
  
• Safe and supportive classrooms
  
• Real skills like chopping, measuring, and teamwork
  
• Confidence through cooking accomplishments
  

These points make it easy for families to understand what each class delivers. Kids learn. They laugh. They discover what they can do.

A Digital Strategy That Builds Community

Young Chefs Academy uses a digital-first approach to reach new families. Parents often search online for programs. That is why visibility matters.

The brand uses:

• Social media with class photos and short videos
  
• Search tools to help families find locations near them
  
• Email reminders about new classes and cooking camps
  
• Online storytelling to show children learning and having fun
  

This regular contact keeps parents informed and excited. It also encourages enrollment at the right moment.

Franchise Support That Makes Marketing Easier

Local owners do not need to create their own materials. They receive strong guidance and tools, which keeps brand messaging consistent everywhere.

Support includes:

• Templates for social posts and ads
  
• Seasonal marketing calendars for workshops and parties
  
• Training on how to reach local schools and families
  
• Adjustments based on what brings in more sign-ups
  

This support helps franchisees grow faster and with less stress.

Why This Strategy Works

The plan focuses on what matters most: the child’s experience. Marketing is not complicated or confusing. It is friendly, simple, and direct. Parents see what their child will learn before they ever walk into a kitchen.

Young Chefs Academy continues to stand out as a leader in culinary education for kids. The brand keeps growing because families trust the experience and want to be part of it. With more locations and more children learning every year, the future looks full of creativity and great cooking.
