Join Us For An Authentic Italian Experience
OLIVIA Tampa is a modern Italian restaurant in Tampa, FL led by renowned Chef Chris Ponte. The concept behind OLIVIA was to create an atmosphere of casual sophistication - a restaurant for both regular diners and those simply looking to relax with friends over craft cocktails. Sky Compass Media was appointed the strategic and creative agency to design and build OLIVIA's website and spearhead their marketing campaigns with branded photography, influencer marketing and social media marketing.
Website Deliverables
Uncovered in the brief: Website design and content creation, copywriting, domain and hosting setup, full mobile optimization, custom branded menu, take-out ordering integration, gift card and payment options (Square), online reservations integration (Yelp), search engine optimization for Google rankings, business/ product photography and analytics (Google Webmaster).
Website UI/UX Design and Development
We worked closely with Chef Chris Ponte to position OLIVIA as Tampa Bay's new and unforgettable Italian dining experience. We started by spending time speaking to potential customers and drawing insights from the way people interact with restaurant websites in the real world. The discovery process, moving from the restaurant's homepage to viewing the menu and booking a reservation, was then translated into the website user experience. The UI/UX design was then mapped out in Figma.
The technology to build out the site was then carefully chosen to complete the project on budget and in a timely manner. WordPress was used as the content management system with custom HTML/CSS and JS coding for specific components, such as linking Yelp reservations directly to the site or pulling PDF menus from Singleplatform using RESTful web services and Django. Every update to our CMS triggers a build process that automatically generates static HTML pages and deploys them to our CDN.
Content Creation and Photography
We set out to create content that would showcase OLIVIA's ability to deliver all the authentic flavors of traditional Italian dining with the creative flair of a chef inspired menu. Our photography, video work and 3D animations were used across the website, social media and pre-launch marketing campaigns. This project is about celebrating and owning OLIVIA's future as the singular, and premier Italian dining experience in Florida: a restaurant and a brand for patrons to truly experience Italy.
Online Marketing Strategy
We developed and successfully executed influencer marketing campaigns to promote OLIVIA's grand opening. By collaborating with 20+ local social media influencers to experience OLIVIA before opening to the public, we created viral exposure that increased social media engagement and Google searches, while driving direct click-throughs to their website.
