Espace M’s Mandate

Sésame Restaurants entrusted Espace M with the mission of increasing brand awareness and generating more reservations at their different restaurant locations.

The Strategy

Espace M chose to concentrate investments on one single media so as to obtain a frequency that would create a powerful impact within the target audience and thus build brand awareness. Sésame’s partnership with the Ricardo brand allows us to not only have a presence in all of the markets where Sésame is already present but also to enjoy brand credibility.

A certain component on the search engines was set to always-on to cover restaurant-related key words and generate traffic and reservations through the website.
