01: Business Challenge

The problem worth solving.

H-Town Hibachi had a distinctive service and loyal early clients, but zero repeatable way to show up on social. Bookings depended on referrals and a single wedding season.

02: Strategic Thinking

The bet we made.

We treated the chef like a character in a serialized show, not a business posting menu photos. Every shoot day produced enough vertical, horizontal, and still content to feed a full month across Instagram, TikTok, and paid.

03: Systems Built

Repeatable systems, not one-off deliverables.

01: Immersion
Two full days on the road with the chef. Real events, real guests, no staging.
02: Story system
Locked five recurring content formats built around the chef's personality and menu.
03: Production cadence
One monthly shoot day producing 40+ pieces of platform-native content.
04: Distribution
Editorial calendar, paid amplification on the best organic performers, and inbound routing to a booking form.
05: Iterate
Weekly performance review; retire what plateaus, double down on what compounds.

04: Creative Execution

How the work showed up.

H-Town Hibachi grill in action — Grill, mid-service.

H-Town Hibachi bowls spread — Editorial food styling.

H-Town Hibachi sauce close-up — Detail: house sauce.

05: Measurable Results

What actually changed for the business.

Within two quarters, H-Town Hibachi moved from referral-only to a waitlist model. The brand now books private events months in advance and treats content as an operating system, not a marketing task.
