Case proofWhat Fullcue changed for ETNA

A clearer view of the commercial problem before the channel plan

Client type

Established restaurant in Phuket competing for both tourist and local diners

Challenge

Strong location and concept, but weekday and low-season demand were soft, and local discovery did not reliably turn into reservations.

What Fullcue did

Built a connected marketing system instead of adding disconnected channels - starting from the bookings leak that mattered most: turning local search and Maps visibility into actual reservations, then supporting it with paid demand.

Channels used

Google Business Profile and local SEO, Google and Meta campaigns, reservation-flow measurement.

Result direction

Strengthened local visibility, a clearer path from discovery to reservation, and measurement tied to booking actions rather than vanity reach.

Business impact

A more predictable weekday and low-season demand base, less dependent on one-off marketing pushes.

What we didThe system, end-to-end

001Marketing system with transparent processes

Built a structured digital marketing system with transparent processes, clear ownership, and weekly reporting cadence - so every channel had a role, a metric, and an accountable lead.

002Analytics & end-to-end

Set up analytics and end-to-end tracking across Google Ads, Meta, and Google Maps - integrated with the operations stack.

003Offline

Created a map of ETNA's offline presence - from neighbourhood hotels and tour partners to local concierge networks - turning physical proximity into discoverable touchpoints.

004CRM & touchpoints across every stage

Developed a customer journey map and strengthened touchpoints at every stage - from first ad impression to first visit, second visit, loyalty enrolment, and repeat occasion.

005Marketing calendar & seasonal campaigns

Developed a customer journey map and strengthened touchpoints at every stage - from first ad impression to first visit, second visit, loyalty enrolment, and repeat occasion.

006Menu work - analysis & specials

Worked closely with the kitchen on menu analysis, hero-dish seasonal specials, and grouped structured feeds for menu updates - aligning culinary moves with commercial pressure points.

007Paid media - Google & Meta

Launched and ran always-on advertising campaigns optimized against bookings, not impressions.

008Cross-promo & local influencer work

Executed cross-promotion and partnership collaborations with local influencers, bloggers, and restaurant events - turning Phuket hospitality network into a referral engine.

009Social media content plan

Created and executed a content plan across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook - concept-led storytelling, seasonal hooks, dishes, atmosphere, music nights, and guest moments.

010POSM materials

Designed and implemented in-venue POSM - menus, table tents, signage, and seasonal collateral - closing the loop between the digital story and the physical guest experience.
