Challenges
Prestons Management felt the Prestons brand was lacking in awareness, consistency and strength in the majority of marketing channels online and offline. After determining the overall need to engage a third party perspective and expertise, Prestons hired Think Profits’ digital marketing and branding team to work with them to find solutions that would result in an improved market profile and customer engagement that could produce more covers.
”We hired Think Profits to conduct a thorough brand audit and needs assessment to improve Prestons Restaurant’s position in the market. We have since engaged them to assist with the newly developed brand marketing through SEO and a social media strategy. Their expertise has become instrumental in our online marketing decisions. We have engaged the Think Profits team and look forward to working long term with their firm.
