  • Tasting nights waitlisted out 3 months.

  • Repeat-rate recovering across top deciles.

The challenge

A 12-year-old fine-dining flagship was losing relevance — Instagram was sleepy, repeat-rate was falling, and the chef's story wasn't being told.

Our approach

  • Monthly chef-led IG Reels series (seasonal ingredients, sourcing trips).
  • Invite-only tasting nights for top-decile diners.
  • Email monthly with new menus + behind-the-scenes.
  • Refreshed brand voice across all touchpoints.
