Marie featured in the media 3 times!

In the weeks around the opening, Marie was featured in several newspapers and trade publications. How does a new restaurant attract that kind of attention in a city with so much to offer?

The question every new restaurant asks

Anyone opening a restaurant wants to build awareness quickly. Newspapers, trade publications and local media are a natural way to do that. At the same time, Utrecht has many restaurants. A journalist will write about a new place when there is a story behind it.

Our story

At Marie, the story lies in the building itself. Marie is located in the historic home of Sociëteit De Vereeniging at Mariaplaats. A building with a rich history. Today, everyone is warmly welcome at Marie. The grandeur remains, but the formality is gone. Join us for coffee, lunch, drinks or dinner in our French brasserie with Parisian Art Deco style, with a long bar at its heart and plenty of room for guests who walk in without a reservation.

Two angles

We wrote two press releases. The first was aimed at local and regional media, focusing on the history of the building and the people behind the restaurant. The second was sent to the trade press and focused on the concept: the bar as the driving force behind the brasserie, the walk in concept and the choice of a French brasserie menu.

Het eindresultaat: 3 publicaties!

In the weeks that followed, Marie was featured in several newspapers and trade publications: De Utrechtse Internet Courant, Misset Horeca and De Buik van Utrecht. Did you spot us? Let us know. For press enquiries, you can contact Jeffrey Hofland via our contact page.
