Budd Dairy Food Hall
The Project
To mark the opening of Cameron Mitchell Restaurant's newest venture, Budd Dairy Food Hall, Inspire engaged Good Day Columbus to assist with the announcement, highlighting the final five chef partners.
Inspire recommended a strategically phased approach to encourage several swells of media coverage throughout the year. Following the announcement of the first two chef partners, Inspire organized a media hard hat tour of the historic building as it was renovated to announce the next group of chef partners.
Several months later, Inspire utilized its strong relationship with reporter/anchor Cameron Fontana to offer an exclusive announcement and coordinate multiple live segments to announce the final chef partners.
Additionally, Inspire developed chef partner bios and messaging materials, drafted social media content for the chef partners to share, developed a news release to go out following the live shots and more.
The Results
- Cameron Fontana enthusiastically introduced each of the five final chef partners, tried their food on the air and shared some of their human-interest stories over the course of six live shots.
