Everyone talks about what’s new. And we love new, Everyone talks about what’s new. And we love new, but we also love telling the stories of what’s lasted.

Opening a restaurant is an achievement. Staying relevant, beloved, and busy for a decade or more is something else entirely. In an industry this challenging, longevity is earned through great hospitality, a loyal following, and truly becoming part of your community.

The challenge few people talk about? Keeping the spotlight on places that have been quietly great for years. That takes a different kind of creativity—and it’s one of our favorite parts of the work.

A few of the established restaurants we’re proud to work alongside:

🦐 La Petite Grocery · New Orleans, LA (est. 2004)
🍷 The Wine Kitchen · Leesburg, VA (est. 2008)
🌾 Husk · Charleston, SC (est. 2010)
🌶️ El Barrio · Birmingham, AL (est. 2011)
🍸 Kimball House · Atlanta, GA (est. 2013)
🌽 Husk · Nashville, TN (est. 2013)
🌱 Coltivare · Houston, TX (est. 2014)
🌮 Minero · Charleston, SC (est. 2014)
🍑 Krog Street Market · Atlanta, GA (est. 2014)
🔥 Ladybird · Atlanta, GA (est. 2014)
🍔 Paramount · Birmingham, AL (est. 2014)
🍣 O-Ku · Atlanta, GA (est. 2015)
🐖 Red Hog · Louisville, KY (est. 2016)

In an industry where restaurants open and close every day, longevity is one of the clearest signs of success. If you’ve built something that has stood the test of time, that’s a story worth telling.

We’d love to help tell it.
It took less than a year for Johin’na to begin res It took less than a year for Johin’na to begin reshaping the already stellar food scene in Birmingham, AL.
Owner Shun Love and daughters Ashley Jackson and Amber Diamond have built a concept that’s unlike anything else in the city, blending Japanese and Southern traditions through izakaya-style dining and the city’s most in-demand omakase experience.

With dishes like yellowtail sashimi with Alabama peaches and collard green gyoza with smoked turkey, the menu is as unique as the story behind it.

It’s clear Birmingham is loving what @johinnabhm offers—expansion is already underway! Shun, Ashley, and Amber are adding lunch and Saturday brunch menus, all while opening a new cocktail bar next door named Obsidian.

Stay tuned for more as we help share the @johinnabhm story with the media—and you!
Hospitality PR does so much more than secure media Hospitality PR does so much more than secure media coverage; it creates moments that let people experience a brand in unique ways.

Last night, we created a match between @theindigoroad and Charleston’s premier independent luxury boutique @hampdenclothing to give guests the first taste of Riva Mare, a coastal Italian concept opening later this summer in the city’s Design District at the Navy Yard.

We love executing events like this. From identifying the natural connection between food, fashion, and hospitality, to flexing our creative muscles, we ideated and executed an experience that transported guests to the Italian Coastline. We worked closely with our existing relationships and built new ones to design every detail to reflect what inspires @rivamarechs—we created a space to match the menu highlighting fresh seafood, bright citrus, and coastal-inspired spritzes. 

Thanks to all who joined us and stay tuned for all the opening details.
