About Us

The ultimate goal of SLB Marketing is to attain desired sales and exceed the expectations of our clients. We create well thought out marketing and media plans including targeted strategies and tactics. We enjoy people, food, drinks and everything involved in the hospitality industry!

SLB Marketing is actively involved in carrying out every detail of our clients marketing plan— we can do it all or oversee, follow up, and coach restaurant management and staff. We will do whatever it takes to make our clients happy and successful.

We specialize in restaurant grand openings, local store marketing, in-house marketing, social media, public relations and media buying.

For local store marketing we represent our restaurants in their communities through neighborhood outreach, relationship building, hotels and concierge partnerships and public relations.

Our in-house marketing includes promoting the restaurant within the four walls and highlighting what the client does best. We want to make every guest feel special and have a reason to return to our restaurants.

Social Media is where it’s at, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and e-marketing. You have to be a part of the internet phenomena to be in the game, we will help you do that.
