The Hospitality Marketing Agency Who Works Beyond The Feed
Hospitality is far from a dying industry. And yet, so many hospitality businesses say theyâre feeling the pressure in marketing themselves right amongst all the other competition. They end up cutting prices, running the same offers and borderline begging people to come try them. Youâre not like that.
As a hospitality marketing agency with more than 20 years of experience, we help restaurants, cafĂ©s, bars, caterers and other food businesses cut through the market. We handle the whole picture or just the parts you canât, making sure the people who see you actually come in. See what we do in our case studies or our Branding Roadmap for a deeper picture.
20+ YEARS IN BUSINESS | STRATEGY + CREATIVE + TECHNICAL
What is hospitality marketing and how will it get more bums in seats?
The idea of hospitality marketing is simple. Itâs everything that gets someone from not knowing your venue exists to sitting at one of your tables and coming back again. This includes every detail of promoting your business, including your branding, website, socials, local search presence, ads and all the ways those things look and sound.
The thing is, itâs not that easy to do or get right. Where most hospitality businesses go wrong is treating each of these things as separate. And people notice when things donât line up, even if they canât put their finger on it. At Whitespace Marketing, we connect all of those dots and make sure your venue is showing up consistently to the right people in your area. Thatâs what turns browsers into bookings as detailed in our Branding Roadmap.
Words are powerful. They are so powerful that 68% of businesses say brand consistency contributes to a more than 10% to 20% growth in their revenue. What would that type of boost in your revenue do for your business?
Working with an integrated marketing communications agency to develop your brand voice and ensure itâs consistent across your website, social media and other content, so you donât even have to think about it. We find your story and how to tell it so it captivates people to use your business. Discover our branding roadmap and how weâll do it.
Proof We Know Hospitality As Well As You Do
How We Can Help As a Marketing Agency For Hospitality
Hospitality Marketing Communications
Most hospo venues have something genuinely worth talking about. So, why doesn’t that come across in your marketing. We find what that thing is and make sure youâre screaming it from the rooftops in a way that actually sounds like you.
Custom Hospitality Websites
Pretty pictures of food arenât enough to fill seats on their own, no matter how good they are. We build custom websites that show up in search, make a great first impression and turn those visitors into actual bookings.
Social Media For Hospitality Businesses
You know you should be posting. You just donât know what. We take that off your hands, building a powerful social media presence that does more than just exist, building a real community that has you booked out week after week.

If you feel like your existing website isnât getting you the results you need or you just need one in the first place, we can take care of that for you. Your custom website will help you prove you can solve specific problems no one else can to win you new business.
Social Media Communications
So many businesses treat social media like another checkbox to just get done each week. But getting it right can make a huge difference in your bottom line.

Thatâs why our marketing and communications services include social media, so you donât have to!
What Working With One of the Top Hospitality Marketing Companies Looks Like
When we start working together, we donât show up with a template and start plugging things in. Every venue is different and we treat it that way. Hereâs how we work.
1
First, we spend real time getting to know your business. We look at your service style, guests, your team and what a typical week or season looks like. This is what weâll use to shape everything else.
2
With info in hand, we look at how people are finding you and what theyâre seeing when they do. Everything is looked at from your reviews and search results to your socials and website. Then, we work out whether any of it is convincing someone to choose you over the place down the road.
3
Now we know where the gaps are, we map out the full guest journey starting with their first impression through to whether they come back, pinpointing exactly where things are falling over. And, of course, create a plan for how to turn it around.
4
From there, you get a rundown of what we found and what weâd tackle first to make the biggest difference for your venue specifically. No jargon and absolutely no fluff. Just an actual clear plan, fully documented for you to assess.
5
Once youâre happy with that plan, we get to work. Everything is built around how your bar, cafĂ©, restaurant or other hospitality business actually runs so it feels natural and gets results.
