Goals & Objective

Increase customer visits to retail partners on National Gyro Day using influencer marketing.

The Challenge

Awareness of Grecian Delight | Kronos (GDK) and their offerings were relatively low in the Phoenix area. GDK wanted to leverage a National Gyro Day event to help drive more retail traffic. However, there was limited time to boost engagement and create a buzz for the event.

The Strategy & Solution

Oodle recommended a targeted influencer campaign designed to maximize local impact. By utilizing an influencer with significant local followings and credibility in the food and lifestyle sectors, the campaign aimed to create authentic and compelling content to resonate with the Phoenix community.
