Real Results, Real Partnerships

  • Chicago Gourmet

    How do you top a sellout? Sell out even faster.

    Our secret for one of the nation's most popular food festivals? A strategic multi-channel marketing program across PR, social media and digital that turned segments into series and collaborations into campaigns.

    With more than 1.3B media impressions, Chicago Gourmet increased PR story count by 18% and advertising equivalency by more than 500% year-over-year. 25 pre-festival broadcast segments and more than 50 at-festival broadcast items paved the way.

    Social media experienced a 229.5% increase in paid impressions, a 210.4% increase in organic engagements and a four-digit increase in net follower growth because of 24 unique chef collaborations, 20 one-off influencer previews and the production of five original promotional videos.

    To top it off, 17 e-blasts accounted for more 122K actual email opens, an astonishing 52% increase year-over-year.

  • Smyth

    Led by husband-and-wife chefs John Shields and Karen Urie Shields, Smyth earned the incredible honor of being named a three-Michelin-starred restaurant, one of only 13 in the country.

    We amplified the distinction through media relations, social media and digital marketing to drive even more reservations.

    Our holistic marketing approach resulted in 34 media stories in outlets, including Bloomberg, Bon Appétit and more, as well as broadcast coverage from nearly every major local broadcast outlet.

    On social media, we gained 4,340 Instagram followers, received 509K impressions (a 249% month-over-month increase) and 19.8K engagements (+262%).

    While in digital, we experience an increase in website traffic by 87K sessions (+132%) and 216K page views (+113%).
