Sounds great! But why on earth are you called Happy Yolk!?

Eggcellent question! 😉 Put simply, the founders of Happy Yolk - Alissa, CJ and Chris - came together to launch World Record Egg, a campaign to achieve the most-liked picture on Instagram. We succeeded in 10 days, beating Kylie Jenner’s record of 18 million likes… and went on to launch a global Super Bowl mental health campaign.

In 2022, the egg was scrambled by Messi’s World Cup winning Instagram post. To say we’re not egg-cited by a fresh opportunity to create internet history again would be an understatement… so watch this space!
