CASE STUDIES

Millers All Day

A well-known Charleston restaurant had hopes of opening a second location to match the success of their first, located on historic Lower King Street. The new location on James Island needed to appeal to a more local demographic. The iconic brand's social media was not moving as quickly as its popularity was growing. With the addition of a secondary location it was time to ramp things up to get the word out about pop-ups, movie screenings, and a sought-after food truck . . . and that's where we came in. Through strategic content planning, community collaborations, and the intentional curation of compelling strong visual content, we were able to bring awareness to the new location, all while receiving national and state-wide awards, such as "Best Brunch In the State of South Carolina", and a well-earned spot on the 2023 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America.

This is the only company I have seen truly accomplish that with the clients they work with. Their tagline is allergic to boring and I can 100% agree, that the work they do is next-level, eye-catching, and fun.

  • Social Media Management

    Having a strong social media presence is vital for small business owners in the tourism industry, but it can be quite time-consuming. To address this challenge, I researched several social media firms and ultimately chose Scenic Route. Right from the start, they impressed me with their insightful questions and deep understanding of my vision. Upon hiring them, I discovered their approach was not only thoughtful but also highly efficient in gathering content.
