Heron Agency

Heron Agency was hired by Russian Tea Time, a fine dining restaurant in downtown Chicago, to manage their PR and marketing after an extended renovation period. The restaurant, which had been in business for over 25 years, wanted to reassure the public that they were still operational. Heron Agency targeted specific media outlets that catered to the restaurant's desired audience, including food-focused media, TV and radio personnel in the Chicago market, and food and lifestyle influencers. The result was a significant increase in sales for the restaurant. Four members of the Heron Agency team were involved in the project, each focusing on a different aspect such as social media, residential and office buildings, TV and radio, and magazines and newspapers.

A Hotel and Restaurant Development and Management Company hired Heron Agency for the launch and ongoing marketing of multiple hotels and restaurants. The goal was to quickly ramp up each business and maximize revenue potential. Heron Agency was chosen after impressing the company with their presentation and strong references. They handled all aspects of product launch and marketing, including public relations, social media, marketing, and special events. The company had almost daily contact with multiple team members and the principal from the Heron Agency.

SBX Group, an entertainment company, hired Heron Agency to manage the public relations for the Sistine Chapel Exhibition event in Chicago. The goal was to drive ticket sales through media coverage. Heron Agency was chosen for their strong recommendations. Despite a short lead time of less than two weeks, Heron Agency swiftly understood the event and goals, and began pitching media, planning a media night, and securing coverage with publications and platforms in Chicago, Illinois, and nationally. They also connected the event with groups that had a particular connection to it, such as religious groups and senior living communities. The SBX Group worked with various members of the Heron Agency team throughout the course of the event.
