Glass & Plate Restaurant

Award-Winning Cross-Channel Marketing Case Study

Our team loves food. We also love supporting local businesses and restaurants. When Glass & Plate owners Justin and Cristina Ward reached out to us to support the launch of their new San Antonio restaurant with a cross-channel marketing strategy, we couldn’t wait to get started. Learn more about our award-winning project below.

We Supported the Successful Launch of a Locally-Owned Restaurant

The Wards wanted a marketing partner that could establish their restaurant’s brand and presence across digital platforms. They requested a beautiful yet user-friendly website that showcased Glass & Plate’s menu and location. They also wanted to get the word out before their grand opening, so we implemented an award-winning web design, SEO, social media and email marketing strategy that generated thousands of website visits and hundreds of phone calls during the restaurant’s first month in business.
