The Suede method

Four steps to venue on the block.

01

Discover

We get to know your venue, your locals and what makes you different. Then we build the plan.

02

Create

Shoots, site, content and campaigns, all crafted in your voice and ready to go live.

03

Amplify

Ads, social and influencers push it out to the right locals, then we test and tune.

04

Report

Each month, one clear report on what it did, and what we do next.

Packages

Built around your venue.

No two venues need the same thing, so we don’t do one-size-fits-all. Tell us where your venue’s at and we’ll shape a monthly partnership around it, simple terms, no lock-in beyond a fair runway.

Questions, answered.

Only ever. It’s the whole point. Because we live in the hospitality world, we already know what works, which means faster results and none of the “learning your industry” tax other agencies charge you for.

We ask for a short initial runway so the work has time to land, then it’s month-to-month. Good marketing keeps you, not paperwork.

No, your ad budget is separate and goes straight to Google and Meta. The management fee covers us building, running and optimising the campaigns. It’s all itemised in your report.

Content and ads go live within about two weeks. Buzz builds from there, most partners feel the difference in foot traffic inside the first couple of months, and your monthly report makes the trend obvious.

Yes. We’re based on the Gold Coast and work with venues across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers.

Yes. We set up or clean up your profile, keep your menu, hours and photos current, post weekly and look after your reviews.
