ETNA — a fine-dining restaurant rebuilt into a full marketing system
Lakefront fine dining in Bangtao, Phuket, competing for both tourist and local diners. Strong location and concept, but weekday and low-season demand were soft, and local discovery did not reliably turn into reservations. Fullcue 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. The result: strengthened local visibility, a clearer path from discovery to reservation, measurement tied to booking actions rather than vanity reach, and a more predictable weekday and low-season demand base.

WHAT FULLCUE BUILT
Ten connected workstreams, one system
- 001
Marketing 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.
- 002
Analytics & end-to-end
Set up analytics and end-to-end tracking across Google Ads, Meta, and Google Maps — integrated with the operations stack.
- 003
Offline
Created a map of ETNA's offline presence — from neighbourhood hotels and tour partners to local concierge networks — turning physical proximity into discoverable touchpoints.
- 004
CRM & 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.
- 005
Marketing calendar & seasonal campaigns
Planned a seasonal marketing calendar with campaigns aligned to high and low seasons — so demand generation ran year-round instead of in one-off pushes.
- 006
Menu 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.
- 007
Paid media — Google & Meta
Launched and ran always-on advertising campaigns optimized against bookings, not impressions.

- 010
POSM materials
