The collaboration with First Watch will further drive the brunch brand’s national marketing strategy
[Boulder, CO] – Parallel Path, an integrated marketing agency that grows brands at the forefront of better health and well-being, announced today that it has partnered with First Watch, an award-winning restaurant concept serving breakfast, brunch, and lunch, to enrich the customer experience at its more than 470 locations nationwide. The partnership will see Parallel Path supporting First Watch’s integrated paid media strategy, media execution, and optimization in key strategic markets to generate increased brand awareness and, in turn, deeper relationships with its customers and communities.
A recipient of hundreds of local “Best Breakfast” and “Best Brunch” accolades, First Watch’s chef-driven menu takes an elevated approach to classic favorites and seasonal specialties, such as the Farm Stand Breakfast Tacos, Kale Tonic (with ingredients juiced in-house daily), and Million Dollar Bacon. With the help of Parallel Path, First Watch will be able to reach more customers and introduce them to the brand’s commitment to quality and freshness.
“Over the last 40 years, our customers have gravitated to our unique take on brunch largely by word of mouth, and we’ve taken great care to encourage this sense of discovery in our restaurants as well as our marketing efforts,” said Matthew Eisenacher, Senior Vice President of Brand Strategy and Innovation at First Watch. “We’re thrilled to work with Parallel Path and leverage their expertise in digital-first marketing to help strengthen these very same relationships and foster new ones. We see this partnership as a meaningful opportunity to introduce even more people to the First Watch experience and spark more moments of connection around the table.”
Parallel Path will assist First Watch in increasing public awareness and understanding of its brand promise and value proposition in the eyes of potential customers. Parallel Path uses its proprietary digital-first marketing framework, which has been honed during the agency’s 17-year existence, to enhance exposure for companies with multiple locations within a region or nationwide.
“We are excited to partner with First Watch to help them achieve their marketing goals,” said John Kadlic, CEO of Parallel Path. “Their mission to serve up delicious, fresh food using only the highest-quality ingredients aligns with our vision of helping humans flourish and we look forward to working with them to make a positive impact on the communities they serve.”
