I helped scale the brand from 11 locations to almost 40 locations in under 5 years, which included successfully launching our first out of state locations by partnering with local PR firms to create buzz and engagement prior to Grand Opening. Additionally, I worked cross functionally with a Houston based charitable organization Southern Smoke, our operators, PR firm, and culinary team to launch a collaboration that ultimately raised $10k for charity.
