The Challenge

Launch Local Bakery While Serving Ecommerce Audience.

With an established ecommerce bakery and sweet treats that could be ordered across the country, adding a brick-and-mortar spot with a taste of home would require just the right ingredients. The Bolt team rolled up their sleeves and took on the tall order to elevate ecommerce brand awareness while setting the scene for a buzzworthy local bakery grand opening.

The Solution

Taking a Bite Of The Market Locally And Online.

Bolt charged ahead with media relations efforts to generate coverage incorporating the bakery’s story, recipes and product reviews. As for the grand opening, our team coordinated event attendance, one-on-one interviews and photo opportunities, product reviews, and more. In addition, we spearheaded a blogger and influencer campaign to drive trials and online reviews, and elevated social media content, graphics, ads and community management to connect with both the local bakery and ecommerce consumers.
