A Premium Global-Dining Restaurant Brand

This is an established global-cuisine dining brand with a strong Instagram presence but an audience skewed young. The account grew a second platform from scratch, ran targeted recruitment for specialised culinary roles, and gave the brand’s catering business its own dedicated acquisition path.

Facebook community grew ~5x — from ~10,000 to 52,000+ followers
462 role-specific recruitment leads across 4 hiring campaigns
Catering business run as its own dedicated funnel, inside the same account

What Trelis Focused On

Restructured social advertising across Instagram and Facebook, deliberately adding Facebook to reach a more mature, financially capable audience.

Segmented influencers into micro, mid-tier and larger-reach tiers, mapped geographically across the home city and neighbouring districts.

Managed a 20+ campaign portfolio spanning awareness, enquiries, community growth and recruitment.

Ran targeted hiring campaigns for specialised restaurant roles with lead filtering, not just volume.

Managed Google Business Profile and Google Ads, including Performance Max, for high-intent local search.

Built a dedicated digital acquisition path for the brand’s catering business, separate from the main restaurant presence.

Brand awareness, Facebook community growth, influencer reach, recruitment and a self-contained catering funnel — all measured and reported separately, not blended into one number.
Selected Campaign Proof Points

Six campaigns, six different jobs

Community growth, influencer reach, regional expansion, recruitment and catering discovery each ran as their own measured line.

Facebook Community Growth
45,360 follows/likes at ₹1.63 per result — the engine behind the ~5x community growth.
Influencer Reels Reach
3.44M+ reach from a dedicated influencer awareness campaign, built on creators mapped across the home city and neighbouring districts.
GCC Regional Expansion
876,567 reach at ₹4.28 per 1,000 reached — extending visibility beyond the home market.
General Hiring Funnel
161 leads from a broad hiring carousel campaign at ₹14.72 per lead — the most cost-efficient recruitment entry point.
High-Scarcity Culinary Role
79 leads for a specialist chef role at ₹93.47 per lead — cost rising with role scarcity, exactly as expected for a niche specialism.
Catering Discovery
16,581 Instagram profile visits at ₹0.64 per visit — a low-cost path for people exploring the catering brand before enquiring.
Why This Matters

Cost per recruitment lead ranged from ₹14.72 to ₹93.47 depending on the role — and that spread isn’t noise, it’s the campaign correctly pricing scarcity. A single blended hiring campaign would have hidden which roles were actually hard to fill.

How We Approached The Challenge

Six operating principles behind the numbers

Add a platform, don’t just add budget

Facebook complemented Instagram rather than replacing it, deliberately reaching a different, more mature audience.

Measure every objective on its own terms

Growth, awareness, profile visits and enquiries were run and reported separately, not folded into one blended number.

Treat recruitment as a quality problem

Each specialised role got its own targeting, budget and cost benchmark instead of one generic hiring post.

Map influencers by tier and geography

Micro, mid-tier and larger-reach creators were segmented across the home city and neighbouring districts.

Give the second business its own funnel

The catering arm got a dedicated WhatsApp and Instagram path, tracked separately from the main restaurant campaigns.

Test regional expansion as its own line

A dedicated GCC awareness campaign extended visibility beyond the home market at a known cost per 1,000.

Where This Can Compound Next

Scale the ₹1.63 Facebook community-growth campaign — it’s what took the page from ~10K to 52K+.

Push more budget into the ₹14.72 general hiring funnel while it stays the cheapest recruitment entry point.

Grow the catering funnel’s own budget now that ₹0.64-per-visit discovery traffic is proven.

Expand the GCC test further, given it already delivers reach under ₹5 per 1,000.

"A brand’s growth doesn’t run on one platform or one objective. It runs on a connected system that gets stronger the more of it works together."
