Marketing For Hospitality

Empty tables on a Fridayshould scare you.Let's fix Friday.

Pubs, restaurants, cafes and venues. We took a village pub in Maidstone from struggling to revenue doubled in two months, and the playbook is repeatable: make the food impossible to scroll past, make booking effortless.

Show Me The Proof

The Playbook

How we fill your diary.

Food-first socials

Dishes, specials and atmosphere posted consistently. Your feed becomes the reason people leave the house.

Local event pushes

Sunday roasts, quiz nights, live music: campaigns aimed at the postcodes that can actually walk in.

Frictionless bookings

Booking flows that work in three taps on a phone, because nobody rings a landline anymore.

Reviews compounding

Review generation systems that keep the Google rating climbing and the map pack ranking with it.

Own the local search

"Sunday lunch near me" and "pub with garden [town]" are winnable searches. We win them.

Reports that make sense

Bookings, covers, campaign results. What worked, what's next, no marketing jargon.

Obsidian Media has transformed our business. Since owning and renovating a village pub 2 years ago, I tried myself to do the social media, which was becoming harder to manage daily. Ethan at Obsidian came along, absolutely transformed our website, our advertising campaigns, made suggestions to make our website and bookings more accessible and easier to use. He is so affordable, so caring, gives so much, and has changed it for us. Best decision we made; was to trust an expert. Thank you!

Questions

Asked all the time. Answered straight.

Consistency and distribution are the difference. A great photo posted once to 300 followers does nothing; the same content planned, boosted and aimed at local postcodes fills tables. That's the engine behind the doubled revenue case.

Yes, we build the booking flow into the site and campaigns so every ad ends in a reserved table, not a hope.

Restaurants, cafes, event venues, caterers. If people book or walk in, the playbook applies.

We'll integrate with what you use or set one up that works in three taps on a phone. Every campaign ends at a reserved table, not a hope.

Photos of dishes, specials and the room, shot on a phone is fine. The Yew Tree's feed runs on exactly that, polished by us.
