When Canoe approached Green Olive Media, the concept had a large following of devoted fans in Atlanta and an established history of culinary excellence. However, the client wanted to expand its reach beyond Atlanta and garner national recognition. Green Olive Media set forth a cohesive marketing, event and public relations plan in order to further grow the restaurant. Green Olive Media saw the opportunity to set Canoe up for success via internal event execution, marketing and public relations initiatives focusing on national and local outreach (a strategic mix of media relations, email and social media marketing, and specialty event programming), and email marketing.
