Scaling a New Cloud Kitchen with Premium Pricing

The Challenge

In early 2025, a new food brand faced the challenge of entering a competitive market as a cloud kitchen with a premium pricing model. Their delivery was limited to a specific geographic area, making it difficult o reach a broader audience while driving awareness and sales. Despite having high-quality products and a strong brand concept, the team struggled to attract and convert customers within their restricted delivery zone.

Our Approach

  • Audience & Market Research: we conducted in-depth analysis of the local delivery area to identify high-value customer segments willing to pay for premium offerings. Examined competitors’ pricing, menus, and promotions to find positioning opportunities.
  • Strategic Messaging & Creative Development: Crafted messaging that highlighted the brand’s unique value proposition, premium quality, fresh ingredients, and exclusive menu items. Produced high-quality visuals, short-form videos, and social content to communicate this story authentically.
  • Influencer & UGC Campaigns: Partnered with local food influencers and encouraged customer-generated content to build trust and social proof. This approach helped overcome skepticism about pricing and showcased real experiences.
  • Geo-Targeted Paid Media: Ran highly targeted Facebook and Instagram campaigns focused exclusively on the delivery zone. Used layered targeting strategies, including interest-based, lookalike, and retargeting audiences, to ensure ads reached the right potential customers.

Results: Driving Revenue and Efficiency Despite Delivery Limitations
