The Brief

San Carlo entrusted the services of Return in order to expand the brand’s awareness and engagement using paid social and organic strategies. San Carlo’s goals were to expand visibility to local customers across UK restaurants.

Our objectives were to:

>  Increase brand awareness. Conveying the high quality of food and atmosphere provided by all San Carlo sites

> Increase visibility. Expanding on local presence and maximising engagements

Paid Social Strategy

The paid social aspect focused on growing awareness of the brand across all relevant customers for each restaurant.

This occurred through quality creative and utilising different ad formats, maximising both dynamic videos and visuals to highlight the USPs, ultimately increasing engagement.
