Birthday campaign creative: friends in party hats toasting over a Korean BBQ and hot pot table

THE PROBLEM

Opening Week Doesn't Last.

Opening week brings attention for a few weeks. A group-dining restaurant needs a steady reason to be chosen after that.

WHAT WE DID

Keep Giving People a Reason.

Seasonal campaigns, community content, creator work, paid social and a review program, including a birthday offer for groups of four or more.
