The Challenge

Rio Brazos Grill had incredible food and an award-winning chef — but their online presence didn't reflect their quality. Traffic was inconsistent, and many Weatherford locals didn't yet know about their elevated dining experience or weekend events.

Low online visibility and engagement
Underperforming weekend traffic
No paid ad structure or lead tracking
Needed stronger awareness for Chef Clint Connaway's brand

We highlighted Chef Clint's background, culinary artistry, and Texas-inspired dishes through cinematic photography and video storytelling.

Meta & Google Ad Campaigns

We launched local ad campaigns focused on upscale diners and nearby communities, showcasing nightly specials, live music, and weekend brunch.
