WHAT WE DO

TRUSTED BY LOCAL BRANDS LIKE YOURS

"I hired the Bowerbird agency to work with our in house designer to create a new website, and put together a
Multipoint marketing plan for our company. After having worked with a singular approach marketing firm it was a breath of fresh air to experience working with such an outstanding partner in an industry saturated with over priced under delivering marketing firms. The results with the Bowerbird agency have been fantastic! Alexis is truly masterful at her job. Her creativity, knowledge of the industry and thoughtful approach to our companies specific industry has been exceptional. Alexis truly cares about her work and has far exceeded what we thought possible. Her weekly consulting calls have been invaluable to our social media presence and increased our traffic at a third of the spend. She is highly effective and efficient with her time, at an incredibly reasonable cost. I highly recommend Bowerbird for all your marketing, branding and logo development! Alexis is outstanding in her field."

French Bleue

The Challenge
French Bleue opened its doors in Apex, NC in October 2023 with no existing audience. The goal was clear: build brand recognition, drive foot traffic, and grow an online community—entirely through organic marketing.

The Strategy
The Bowerbird Agency created a brand and content system designed to scale from zero:

  • Elevated brand storytelling with a luxurious, curated tone to reflect French Bleue’s aesthetic

  • Consistent Instagram and Facebook publishing to build visibility and engagement

  • Local SEO and Google profile optimization to capture high-intent, local searches

  • Emphasis on experiential content showcasing products, interiors, and the in-store experience

The Results (Opening– Sept 2025)
French Bleue’s growth has been 100% organic:

  • 52,850 reach on Facebook (↑ 5.3M%)

  • 2,445 content interactions on Facebook (↑100%)

  • 11,287 Facebook visits + 293 new follows

  • 38,340 Instagram profile visits (↑112.7K%)

  • 1,208 Instagram follows

  • 47,874 Instagram reach (↑16.6K%)

  • 5,664 Instagram content interactions

  • 516 total link clicks across platforms

The Takeaway
In less than 2 years, French Bleue built a thriving community and established itself as a destination brand, entirely without paid advertising. Strategic storytelling, consistent content, and SEO turned zero awareness into measurable growth.

Jordan Lake Farm

  • Seasonal Marketing Strategy: Built content campaigns around peak offerings like flower picking and harvest events.

  • Social Media Management: Consistent, engaging posts designed to highlight the farm experience and draw in local audiences.

  • Influencer & Community Buzz: Encouraged organic shares and engagement without formal outreach campaigns.

The Results (12+ Month Organic Growth)

  • 115,135 reach across Facebook + Instagram (↑100%)

  • 5,806 content interactions (↑100%)

  • 23,401 Facebook visits

  • 8,135 Instagram visits

  • 1,285 Instagram follows

  • 432 link clicks (↑1,100%)

  • 550 new Facebook follows (despite a natural seasonal drop-off)

  • Multiple on-site flower picking sell-outs

  • 20+ local influencers visited and posted about the farm — unprompted

The Takeaway
By realigning their brand and strengthening their seasonal marketing, Jordan Lake Farm turned tradition into momentum. With consistent messaging, strategy, and social support, they not only grew reach and engagement but also created sell-out demand and earned authentic influencer attention.
