This case study delves into the digital marketing strategy crafted for the grand opening and the impressive impact it made in just a week.

Mission in Focus: More than Just Coffee

Midtown Toronto, in stark contrast to Nava Social’s maiden location, is a quiet, family-oriented neighborhood. Sandwiched between famous eateries, a church, and a school, the cafe's location required a unique strategy to penetrate this demographic, particularly against the backdrop of the festive season.

Strategy brewed
to perfection 
☕

1.

Capitalizing on Nava Social’s brand promise of crafted coffee, we devised a strategic campaign that intertwined community service with consumer engagement.

2.

We introduced a week-long initiative where customers were invited to donate canned goods at the cafe in exchange for a complimentary coffee. All collected donations were channeled to a local food bank, underlining our commitment to support the community.

3.

This approach not only tapped into the festive season's spirit of giving but also harmonized with the family-centric ethos of the suburban neighborhood, ensuring a compelling resonance and wide appeal.
