Sakura at Hush: increasing brand awareness and driving footfall

The brief

Hush, the fine-dining townhouse restaurant in Mayfair, asked MCG to support the launch of its Sakura-themed courtyard. Our aim was to increase brand awareness and to drive footfall.

We generated positive reviews about Sakura through a combination of media relations and social influencer outreach. We carefully selected digital media and lifestyle influencers to create a significant share of voice around the launch period on Hush’s chosen platform, Instagram.This combination of tactics offered the most cost effective and credible way to generate recommendations and reviews from powerful, London-based media and social influencers.
