Acclaimed Japanese ramen brand selects Dallas-based agency to help drive nationwide growth
JINYA Ramen Bar announced today the engagement of Champion Management Group LLC as the brand’s Public Relations Agency of Record.
Champion’s scope of work for JINYA Ramen Bar includes consumer and franchise-development public relations, local store marketing and new restaurant openings. The agency will provide brand support through targeted local marketing campaigns in addition to generating positive coverage at the local and national level through a comprehensive media relations strategy.
“We hired Champion on a project basis in early summer to help us gain favorable media coverage for our 10th anniversary,” said JINYA Marketing Director Justin Bartek. “Due to the pandemic, we knew that wouldn’t be the easiest task, but Champion didn’t let that slow them down. In fact, they knocked it out of the park. Now we’re looking forward to the same level of success for our brand as a whole as we navigate through the rest of this crisis and beyond.”
Founded in 2002, Dallas-based Champion ranks among the nation’s largest and most acclaimed PR agencies in the foodservice space, representing such blue-chip national brands as Corner Bakery Cafe, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, Dog Haus, Fazoli’s, On The Border, Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers, RAVE Restaurant Group and Taco John’s.
