Inspired by Salish's longtime love of Chipotle, the collaboration marks the brand's first creator spotlight on a Kid's Meal and makes Salish the youngest creator to have a digital menu item at Chipotle. The launch also highlights the growing influence of Gen Alpha on family dining decisions and how younger consumers discover brands through trusted creators.
The Salish Matter Order features a Kid's Cheese Quesadilla with white rice, black beans and hand-mashed guac, served with kid's chips and chocolate milk.
A Partnership Rooted In Superfandom
One of the most recognizable creators among Gen Alpha audiences, Salish Matter reaches millions of fans through family-friendly content with her father, Jordan Matter. Their YouTube channel, @JordanMatter, has more than 37 million subscribers, and Salish has built her own loyal following through social media and as a co-founder of Sincerely Yours, a skincare brand created for teens and tweens.
For years, Salish has organically featured Chipotle in her content and become known for ordering the same Kid's Cheese Quesadilla every time she visits. Salish served Chipotle's cheese quesadillas at her sold-out SUGARWRLD event in Santa Monica earlier this summer (see HERE, HERE) and recently posted about how obsessed she is with the brand (see HERE).
Salish Brings Her Go-To Order To Fans
The campaign kicks off with playful social content from Salish on Instagram announcing that fans nationwide can now order her go-to Kid's Meal through the Chipotle app and Chipotle.com.
To celebrate the launch, Chipotle is featuring Salish and her signature order on menu boards across Los Angeles and Orange County, Calif., where the creator grew up and built much of her fanbase.
