Hospitality marketing Gold Coast
Hospitality marketing on the Gold Coast, from a team that only does hospitality.
Suede is a Gold Coast hospitality marketing agency. We help independent cafes, restaurants and bars from Coolangatta to Main Beach get more locals through the door, with content shot in your venue, Instagram and Reels, Meta ads, Google Business Profile work and one clear report a month. We live here, we drink here, and we only take on a few venues at a time.
Why Gold Coast venues need different marketing
The coast runs on seasons. School holidays and summer weekends look after themselves, but the weeks in between, the wet season and the midweek mid-afternoon are where venues win or lose the year.
Visitors find you on Google Maps. Locals find you on Instagram and keep coming back if they feel like regulars. Good Gold Coast hospitality marketing does both: it gets you found when someone searches for brunch in Burleigh or dinner in Broadbeach, and it gives the people who live five minutes away a reason to choose you on a Wednesday.
It’s our home patch. Our partners Refinery Coffee (Currumbin Waters) and Relaxed Espresso (Mermaid Beach) are both Gold Coast locals, and we shoot here every week.

Why Gold Coast venues choose Suede
- •Hospitality-only. We don’t split our attention across gyms, dentists and real estate.
- •Local. We’re based on the Gold Coast, so we can be in your venue for a shoot this week, not next quarter.
- •Founder-led. You deal with Connor, not an account manager.
- •Honest numbers. We record your baselines on day one, so you can see exactly what changed.
Gold Coast venue owners ask us
Pick one quiet window, give locals a reason to come in during it (a weekday special, a regulars’ reward, a new item), and put it in front of people who live within a few kilometres through Instagram, Meta ads and your Google profile. Then measure it against your normal day so you know it worked.
A complete, active Google Business Profile does most of the work: the right category, accurate hours, a menu, fresh photos, regular posts and a steady stream of reviews that you reply to. We manage all of that for our hospitality partners.
The Gold Coast is home, but we also work with venues across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers.
Yes. Every shoot happens in your venue during real service, so the content looks like your place on a good day. No stock photos and no AI.
