Turning a Local Taqueria into a Community Favorite

Blending Digital Buzz with Local Flavor to Build a Neighborhood Staple

The Challenge: Flair Taco Taqueria had the flavor and quality to stand out—but needed help attracting new customers, building a loyal following, and getting the attention it deserved in a competitive local dining scene. Without a formal marketing strategy, they lacked consistent visibility online and in the community.

Our Approach: Brand Heist led a hyper-local marketing and community engagement strategy to drive foot traffic, increase digital engagement, and position Flair Taco as a must-visit spot.

1. Strategic Partnerships & Community Features

   • Identified and secured collaborations with local businesses and neighborhood organizations.

   • Secured features in local newsletters and event roundups to expand visibility beyond existing customer circles.

   • Built relationships that helped turn customers into brand advocates.

     
     

2. Digital Presence & Social Media Strategy

   • Built a consistent digital presence across social platforms, focusing on visual storytelling, menu spotlights, and behind-the-scenes content.

   • Designed and executed targeted social campaigns that highlighted new menu items, community events, and seasonal promotions.

   • Engaged directly with customers through comments, reposts, and user-generated content to build connection and loyalty.

     
     

3. Events, Contests & Creative Promotions

   • Developed and produced fun, buzzworthy events—like menu launch parties and themed taco nights.

   • Launched interactive contests that encouraged trial, sharing, and community involvement.

   • Used these events as both promotional tools and content-generating opportunities for future marketing.

     
     

The Results:

• Increased local awareness and foot traffic through a steady drumbeat of authentic, engaging community touch-points.

• Built an active digital audience that engaged regularly with Flair Taco’s content and promotions.

• Strengthened brand affinity through grassroots marketing that celebrated both the product and the people behind it.
