The Campaign:
In Summer 2024, the Social Ape team worked with the Zepsa family to announce the highly anticipated reopening of Zepeddie’s Pizzeria after a 23-year hiatus. To generate excitement for the Charlotte OG, Social Ape Marketing crafted press releases and media alerts highlighting the return of the beloved pizzeria.
The campaign goal was to secure prominent media coverage of Zepeddie’s grand reopening while reintroducing the brand to loyal customers and new pizza lovers alike. Social Ape leveraged its network to ensure Zepeddie’s received widespread attention and a warm welcome back to the city’s food scene.
