In October 2019, I began working with Zach & Steve at Blu’s Barbeque in North Dallas, Texas.

My goal was to help them gain local exposure, grow their brand, and become a well-known BBQ joint within Texas. Below is an example of some of the great coverage I have helped them land – with more to come!

Being named one of Dallas’ best BBQ restaurants on a giant publication like Thrillist? This came because of an organic pitch and building a good relationship with an excellent writer.

A few months later, this same writer included Blu’s in his list of the best Dallas restaurants! WOW!

D Magazine is one of – if not the – most trusted news source in all of Dallas. We were able to have Blu’s Barbeque featured twice through our pitching.

The FIRST ARTICLE was about their rapid growth. And the second article was about their expansion during a pandemic.
