Coquette

Coquette is a beloved New Orleans restaurant owned by James Beard nominated chef Michael Stoltzfus.

Mike and Coquette manager Kyle McKinley approached me for social media help. Their goal was to increase Coquette’s visibility approaching the restaurant’s 15 year anniversary. I partnered with Ganza, who had been hired to rebrand the restaurant, and photographer Emily Ferretti, who I hired to shoot the updated menu and dining room. With refreshed branding, gorgeous imagery and compelling social captioning, Coquette was equipped to enter its 15th year confidently and sell out its No Menu Wednesday dinner series.
