The Mr. Tampa Bay effect
Sold out for weeks
Jardin de Pollos, a Bolivian rotisserie chicken spot in Dunedin, sold out for several weeks after our visit.
400 flights, fast
The ramen trio we pitched to Miku Ramen in Largo sold 400 flights in quick succession.
200,000+ views
One post for Crepesology, tucked in a Dunedin strip mall, and business went wild.
A special that keeps selling
The brisket pho collab we helped put together between Bamboozle and Station House BBQ has been selling out ever since.
Results as reported by the Tampa Bay Times, August 2026. Every business is different, and past results don't guarantee future ones.
More than a post
What's included when we promote you
-
Content
Content creation & posting
We come to you, shoot the food and the vibe, and post it across the Awesome accounts that reach your neighborhood.
-
Menu
Menu consulting
A fresh set of eyes on your menu: which dishes to lead with, what to rename, what to bundle, and what's quietly holding you back.
-
Viral
Viral item development
Trios, flights, mashups, and showstoppers built to stop the scroll, like the ramen trio that sold 400 flights.
-
Launch
Promotional rollouts
Openings, new menus, and seasonal specials planned as a rollout across our accounts, so the buzz builds instead of fizzling.
-
Ads
Targeted ad spend
When a post takes off, we can put ad dollars behind it and aim it at the local audience most likely to walk through your door.
-
Collabs
Collab matchmaking
We know everyone. We'll pair you with the right local partner for a crossover dish or event people talk about.
How it works
Pricing that makes sense for you
Performance-based
For restaurants, bars, and hospitality groups, our compensation is tied to how your content performs. We only do well when you do, so we're invested in making every post hit.
Flat-rate promotion
Festivals, pop-ups, concerts, and one-night-only events get one clear, flat rate for promotion across the right Awesome accounts, so you know your cost up front.
Every partnership is a little different. Tell us about your spot or your event and we'll put together the right plan.
