First-ever Indian Restaurant Engages Carnsmedia.

Akbar, Long Island’s pioneer in Indian cuisine, garnered a devoted and steadfast following in its nearly 50 years of operation. While the restaurant’s bills and expenses went up due to the steep rise of inflation, the business stayed stagnant. To find a solution — and target a new segment of customers — Akbar called on Carnsmedia.

Content Creation

Mouthwatering content that makes a mark

Carnsmedia came up with a strategy to attract a fresh set of customers and highlight Akbar’s delectable cuisine through viral Instagram videos featuring their signature artisanal hand-rolled naans, succulent spiced tandoori lamb, and fiery hot curries simmered all day long.

This approach significantly enhanced the restaurant’s social media visibility, resulting in thousands of views and engagement from a previously untapped audience.

Digital Advertising

Connecting you to new, loyal customers

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.

Social Media

A taste of our social media strategy.

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.
