About the Client

Fast-Casual Restaurant Franchise

A rapidly growing, wellness-driven poké bowl brand with more than 60 locations (and growing!) is on a mission to serve clean, sustainable food while fostering strong community connections.

The Goal

Setting the Stage for Sustainable Growth

Behind the scenes, the brand's marketing efforts were falling flat. Frustrated by its previous agency’s lack of transparency, especially around Yelp ads that devoured 30% of the budget with minimal return, the brand turned to Intero Digital for clarity, strategy, and results.

With clear KPIs and precise conversion tracking in place, we scaled localized paid media efforts across individual locations and regions. We also launched the brand’s first-ever structured SEO strategy to boost long-term visibility, provided proactive support for branded content and event campaigns, and partnered closely with the internal team to streamline and elevate social media efforts.
