RKC.me works with a variety of hospitality brands across the Tampa Bay Area, recently completing photoshoots with some long-term and newly acquired clients including Bella’s Italian Cafe, Cassis and 2nd and Second. Rich photography allows team RKC.me to build digital campaigns that continue to deliver measurable results. Not to mention, make us hungry.

In addition to strategic signage, digital ads promoting the space were distributed online to locals dog owners and a street team delivered collateral directly to the hands of those walking their pups downtown.

In addition to management and tenants citing a highly visible increase in doggy traffic to Sundial in general, restaurants have reported greater dining and happy hour sales since the promotion began and are up overall compared to this time last year.

The anticipation around 2nd & Second, St. Pete’s only 24 hour downtown diner, was building from the moment the news was announced. RKC.me helped brand the new restaurant, designing its logo, a fun menu, and funky placemats. We also captured the amazing atmosphere through photos and developed a visual centric website to display them. Taking into consideration the kinks of a new restaurant, we evaluated strengths and weaknesses, using feedback in real time, to inform their social media strategy. The results were a warm reception for the diner and the start of what’s sure to become a beloved staple in St. Pete for years to come.

Moving to the USL for their first year, the Tampa Bay Rowdies made a strong playoff run. We created clean, bold green and gold graphics to catch the eyes of fans and encourage them to get behind their team to “bring it home.” The branding was successfully used across social ads with target audience testing and billboards to drive thousands of fans to buy home game playoff tickets. At the games, signage in the stadium and programs reinforced support of their playoff campaign.

It all started with a tweet; when longtime Kahwa Coffee customer Evan Longoria @’d the company on Twitter, he set the ball in motion to fast becoming a business partner. In launching the special collaborative coffee blend, Signature Series No. 3, RKC.me was tasked with designing the bag and handling the rollout, as well as coordinating and capturing the unveiling event… And for good cause: benefitting those in need.

“The bag and everything, what they did with it, their marketing people, they turned it into something pretty special.”

One of Tampa Bay’s oldest community banks, Pilot Bank wanted to create a special CD rate to “recognize great achievements.” Teaming up with legendary Tampa Bay Buccaneer Jimmie “88” Giles, RKC.me created branding, branch signage and a digital campaign touting two exceptional options, both using the player’s well-known jersey number, for personalized investing strategies.

Reimagining baseball in a modern world means envisioning an entertainment and lifestyle hub with a built-in sports team. Our proposal to the Tampa Bay Rays on behalf of the City of St. Petersburg not only took into account the technical vision but how life would be lived within this city inside a city.

How do you make finance, cool? Align one of the area’s oldest community banks with the fast-growing city it operates in for a feel good local campaign that reflects the Tampa Bay economy coming to life. Our Pilot Bank postcards inspired thousands of interactions and shares across social media, engaging consumers to help us expose the bank’s brand to hundreds of their friends and family.

Proving moderation is all about picking this over that, without the heaping helping of preaching, Healthy St. Pete asked us to launch a virtual progressive dinner partnership with local restaurants. The resulting tours prove that being mindful of what you take in when you eat out can still be a lot of fun.
