Social Media Marketing
Social Media is the #1 marketing tool for the restaurant industry, but unfortunately, restaurants more often than not, are too busy to stay on top of the daily activity needed to make social media really work. We’ve got you covered. We take the photos and create video, write the engaging copy and monitor your accounts for all questions and comments.

Media Outreach / Public Relations
Pitching to journalists takes know-how and an established network. We’ve got both. Getting mentioned on an ongoing basis is key. We are a go-to resource for many journalists when they are putting together articles on varied topics. They know we can provide a quick turn around with details and photos so our clients get mentioned in many different publications month after month. And, we happen to own the website you are currently on, so our clients get guaranteed publicity here and are included on many of our most popular pages that draw visitors every month. We can do the same for your restaurant.
