Welcome to our dinner table!

For 20 years, Carnsmedia has been the one-stop marketing team for New York’s most iconic restaurants, bakeries and wine bars — here’s what we’ve cooked up for our clients over the years.

How a Beloved NYC Bakery Became a Goldbelly Best-Seller

For 15 years, Carnsmedia has been this bakery’s one-stop marketing team — running its social media, e-commerce website, email marketing, celebrity partnerships, national advertising, influencer events, branding, signage, national TV appearances and Food Network festivals, all driving online sales for nationwide shipping on Goldbelly.

How Carnsmedia Uncorked a New Crowd for Pinkerton Wine Bar.

A 13-year-old natural wine bar that had never spent a dime on advertising; Carnsmedia brought the room back to life with orange wine, influencer events and a bustling late-night crowd.

Influencers Got Them Looking. Our Lunch Strategy Got Them Seated.

Carnsmedia packed this small Brooklyn Thai restaurant by promoting one thing: a $16 Michelin lunch — 4 million Instagram views later, lunch traffic is up 200%. Now the whole neighborhood knows the name.

Delivering affordable social media marketing for a Michelin gem.

On Carnsmedia’s smaller package, this modern Argentine restaurant got the photography and Instagram presence of a destination spot, without a destination-sized budget.

Bloomberg, Women’s Wear Daily & Secret NYC Walk Into a Café…

Carnsmedia’s press release and influencer push launched the first interactive Angry Birds café: Bloomberg, Women’s Wear Daily and Secret NYC covered it, and the opening party sold out. Family influencers and parent creators carried the café to the audience that mattered most — the city’s moms, dads and kids.

How Do You Get Featured in Eater? Parklife Got in Twice.

Carnsmedia’s publicist and PR team turned a Persian-Texan menu, a Michelin-trained chef and a park-like backyard into press coverage, including two Eater features. The coverage made Parklife a must-go day-trip destination for food lovers across the city.

A Michelin Seafood Supplier Went Direct to Home Cooks: How We Launched a New Gourmet Delivery Service

True World Foods asked Carnsmedia to promote its new luxury food delivery website to ambitious home cooks in the NYC tristate area. Carnsmedia created a TikTok and Instagram cooking series built around trending food holidays — Lobster Day, Sushi Day, Wagyu Day and Caviar Day — and targeted digital boosts and strategic influencer partnerships turned viewers into customers.

We Made a Breezy Point Beach Bar Look Like the Hamptons

Carnsmedia’s drone video over the beach and a feed full of bites and cocktails made this beloved Breezy Point bar the city’s summer escape — ocean views, a packed deck and a room that feels like a vacation.

First-ever Indian Restaurant Engages Carnsmedia.

After nearly 50 years as Long Island’s pioneer in Indian cuisine, Akbar asked Carnsmedia to boost sales and bring in a new generation of customers. The pitch landed Newsday’s top food editor at the table, and Akbar was named among the Best Indian Restaurants on Long Island.

How We Turned a Waterfront Spot Nobody Walked Past Into a Brooklyn Destination

When Sea Wolf opened its second location with no foot traffic, Carnsmedia launched it with an influx of Brooklyn-based influencers, aerial drone footage of the massive waterfront space, local targeted ads and email marketing to its Toast customers. All of it turned a remote waterfront location into a destination.

A Weekend in Milan Sweepstakes

For the US launch of La Cucina Italiana’s website, Carnsmedia ran the “Weekend in Milan” sweepstakes — introducing nearly a century of Italian kitchen authority to American home cooks. The campaign drove 1 million visitors to the new site and collected over 5,000 emails.

How We Launched an Irish Beef Jerky in America — as a Health Food, Not a Snack

Carnsmedia launched Bawnmore — premium beef jerky made from grass-fed Irish beef — to American consumers as a health food brand, not a snack-aisle afterthought. As its full-service agency, Carnsmedia built the launch on research and brand positioning, then ran the photography, social media, digital ads and press.

Two Columbia Students, $7,000, and a Box of Cold Brew — and We Were the First Agency They Ever Called

Two Columbia grad students launched Wandering Bear out of their business-school classroom with mason jars of homemade cold brew and about $7,000 — and Carnsmedia was the first agency they ever hired. Carnsmedia built the brand’s first audience in New York; today its cold brew ships to doors across America.

The SoHo Italian Restaurant That Looks as Good as It Tastes

San Carlo’s owners had recently moved to America from Italy when they made Carnsmedia their first agency. Carnsmedia shoots the food photography and runs the social media for this SoHo Italian restaurant, so the feed looks as good as the cooking tastes — and the dining room stays packed.

NYC’s Fish Guy

For over a century, New York’s top chefs bought their seafood from NYC’s Fish Guy, until Covid hit in 2020. Restaurants closed, and Carnsmedia helped Rozzo pivot — launching a new seafood market selling fresh fish to home cooks in Chelsea. The New York Times and Eater both gave Rozzo a massive feature, and the line wrapped around the block.

Raising Goldbelly Sales for a Century-Old Little Italy Bakery

Over a 10-year partnership, Carnsmedia built this five-generation bakery’s entire digital life from scratch — website, social media, TikTok and reels — and brought it a younger generation of customers.

Esquire Called It America’s Best Bar. We Took Its Reach From 87K to 1.7 Million.

Carnsmedia took over social media for the whiskey bar New York Magazine named #1 in NYC, grew its organic reach from 87K to 1.7 million a year, and turned its 500-bottle spirits list into The Book, an interactive guide. Esquire named it a Best Bar in America, the AP and Time Out followed — and whiskey tastings and cocktail demos made Daddy-O a destination drinkers crossed the city for.

Anne Burrell’s Recipe for a Good Time

Carnsmedia ran social media for Food Network chef Anne Burrell and legendary bar owner Phil Casaceli, carving out a place for their ‘good time’ in Brooklyn’s crowded scene.
