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.
Boost sales and target a new segment of customers.
A devoted and steadfast following built over nearly 50 years — while bills and expenses went up with the steep rise in inflation.
Carnsmedia pitched Akbar to Long Island’s number-one newspaper, Newsday, in an effort to secure a top rating by the most prestigious media outlet on Long Island. The paper’s top food editor came for dinner, and the rest is history — Akbar was named “Best Indian Restaurants on Long Island!”
Carnsmedia featured this honorary new acknowledgment on targeted Facebook and Instagram ads to reach new customers for indoor dining, take-out, event spaces, weddings, and corporate lunches.
Carnsmedia manages all aspects of Akbar’s social media strategy, including engagement, posting cadence, caption writing, and more. This affords us the opportunity to work closely with the client — in this case, the Chopra family — to plan out our social strategy months in advance, ensuring everything runs as smoothly as possible.
Over five years as a trusted partner, the Carnsmedia team is fortunate to have developed strong, meaningful relationships with the family and is thrilled to play a small part in their success.
