Hanzo Case Study: Launching SMM from scratch for hanzo.sushi and generating 655,000 views in the HoReCa sector
For the food and delivery business, the key to sales is a quick impulse and visual appeal. People place orders when they see a mouth-watering shot or a dynamic video in their feed. Systematic SMM promotion allowed Hanzo delivery to build a recognizable brand identity from scratch, attract a local audience, and establish a stable flow of online orders in just 3 months.
The Locomotive Digital marketing team built the strategy around trending formats and a focus on food quality.
As part of the project, we completed the following scope of work:
- Food photography and video production: we conducted regular shoots, creating appetizing content with a focus on ingredients and the cooking process.
- Viral TikTok and Reels: we developed short, trending videos that quickly hit recommendations and attracted viewers without ad spend.
- Interactive Stories – we built daily communication through polls, feedback, special offers, and secret promo codes.
- Direct marketing – we accelerated the processing of incoming requests, helping users quickly place delivery orders directly in the chat.
High-quality visualization and working with social media algorithms turned empty pages into an active marketplace.
Hanzo’s digitized metrics: why you should order SMM promotion and how to reach over 68,000 per post
The rapid growth in media metrics was the result of a clear content strategy and regular posting:
- Post reach – the average reach per post grew from 59 to 68,311 users (the total figure reached 88,000).
- Video views – Reels and TikTok reach grew from 1,150 to 655,532 views.
- Page visits – the number of profile visits increased from 240 to 3,142 per month (over 9,000 for the entire period).
- Direct sales – the pages became a full-fledged source for placing kitchen orders.
As a result, the delivery service quickly gained a fully optimized sales channel that works to constantly attract new orders.
