Bar Mutz: Building Anticipation Before the Doors Opened

The challenge

Introduce Bar Mutz to the community and build interest ahead of its February 1, 2025 opening, then carry that momentum into the launch.

What we did

The approach.

We took a discreet, teaser-led approach and revealed the restaurant gradually. Selected details gave people a glimpse of what was coming while leaving more to discover.

The content rollout moved from building curiosity before opening to showcasing the space and the experience once the doors opened. Each phase served a purpose within the launch.

Across the 30 day reporting period, spanning both pre-opening and post-opening activity, the campaign reached well beyond Bar Mutz's existing followers and introduced the restaurant to a much wider audience during its launch.

Reporting period: January 21 to February 19, 2025. The non-follower figure is the share of accounts reached, not an engagement rate.
