Case Study: Making Waves in Sarasota—How We Helped a Squeeze Franchise Owner Shine

How We Helped a Squeeze Franchise Owner Shine


Client Overview

A local Squeeze franchise owner was gearing up to open her first location in Sarasota, aiming to create a buzz that would translate into foot traffic and brand awareness.

The franchise owner recognized the importance of local media coverage for the grand opening but faced a major hurdle—budget constraints meant the corporate PR agency was out of reach. She needed an efficient yet impactful solution to ensure her story got heard by the right audience and to drive customers to her new location.
