Overview
Bula Kavananda is a kava bar and community space in Tampa Bay known for its welcoming vibe, botanical drinks, and strong community. They wanted a digital presence that showed their atmosphere, events, and offerings while staying true to their community-driven energy.

Challenge
The bar had strong in-person engagement, but their online presence was inconsistent and didn’t capture the culture or beauty of the space. They needed clear visuals, consistent content, and event coverage to bring the in-person experience online.

Solution
As their creative partner, I built a strategy using beverage photography, lifestyle content, and short-form video. I managed their Instagram to keep branding and messaging consistent. I also supported their community by organizing events and boosting their online reach.
Example: For their Halloween event, I created a campaign that connected online storytelling with the in-person experience, building excitement before, during, and after the event.

Impact

• Event attendance doubled within a few months.

• Sales increased steadily thanks to stronger visibility and content.

• The bar saw a rise in new faces and foot traffic.

• A clear, cohesive Instagram presence strengthened reputation and loyalty.

• Content encouraged regulars to try new drinks and sparked more conversations with staff.

• Posts created a bridge between staff, regulars, and new customers, building stronger connections.
