Client Overview

The Restaurant CPAs is a specialized platform connecting restaurant owners with industry-focused accounting firms, serving as the bridge between two distinct audiences in an underserved market.

The Challenge

Our client needed to launch an entirely new business concept from the ground up—a connector platform serving two different audiences with varying needs, pain points, and decision-making processes. The challenge was multifaceted:

Key Pain Points:

  • No existing brand identity or market positioning

  • Complex dual-audience platform requiring different value propositions

  • Highly specialized niche with limited market precedent

  • Need to establish authority and trust with both restaurant owners and accounting firms

  • Launch timeline requires a comprehensive strategy and execution simultaneously

 

Our Strategic Solution

Foundational Brand Architecture

Lauren Keller, our Head of Content and Brand, began by developing the complete business foundation, crafting the mission, vision, core values, and positioning strategy that clearly differentiated the platform as a connector rather than a competitor.

We developed executed a detailed audience segmentation strategy, identifying four distinct buyer personas:

  • Active Searchers: Restaurant owners actively seeking accounting support

  • Experienced Accounting Firms: Established firms looking to expand their restaurant clientele

  • Plus two additional personas with detailed priority mapping and roadblock analysis

Full-Scale Digital Launch Strategy
