Noodles and Company Influencer Strategy:

Background

Founded in 1995 by Aaron Kennedy, Noodles & Company stands as a prominent fast-casual restaurant chain, having its headquarters in Broomfield, Colorado. The restaurant takes patrons on a culinary journey by offering a diverse menu that features a variety of international and American noodle dishes, complemented by a selection of soups and salads.

The Challenge

Like many restaurant brands, Noodles and Company was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic which posed an exceptionally harsh challenge to the restaurant industry. Noodles and Company desired to ramp up aggressively in the post-COVID era.

The Solution

In the critical period following the Covid-19 pandemic, it was essential to bolster brand awareness for Noodles & Co., facilitating a vigorous business ramp-up as the restaurant industry rebounded. To achieve this, we crafted an integrated campaign designed not only to reach a wider audience but also to foster deeper engagement with both new and existing patrons. By seamlessly blending innovative strategies with the brand’s core values, the campaign breathed fresh life into the Noodles & Co. identity, ushering in a revitalized era for the beloved restaurant chain.
