Spicebowl Restaurant
Social media content and launch-stage visibility for a restaurant in Dubai Mall.
Spicebowl was a restaurant located in Dubai Mall, and I worked with the brand as a freelance social media specialist from its launch phase. My role focused on creating food and restaurant content, managing social media platforms, and producing visual assets that helped the restaurant build visibility, communicate its location more clearly, and strengthen its digital presence.
Restaurant / Hospitality
Worked on launch-stage content and social media for a restaurant brand in a highly competitive mall environment.
Dubai Mall
The restaurant was located in the Fashion Parking area, which made discoverability an important communication challenge.
Instagram, Facebook, YouTube
Managed and created content across the restaurant’s core social platforms.
Better visibility and more footfall
The content strategy focused on showcasing the food, improving awareness, and helping customers find the restaurant more easily.
A new restaurant needed content that could attract attention and guide discovery
Restaurants in large malls compete heavily for attention. Spicebowl not only needed appealing food and brand content, but also clearer visibility support because the location was not the easiest for visitors to find.
