Food Truck Marketing · Metro Vancouver

Marketing for a business that moves every day.

A food truck's biggest marketing challenge isn't the food — it's making sure people can find you today, not just know you exist. We build the daily location systems, viral-ready content and event booking outreach that turn a mobile business into a genuinely followed brand across Metro Vancouver.

Industry Overview

Great food, unpredictable location.

Every restaurant's job is to be found by people nearby. A food truck's job is harder — the "nearby" changes daily, and a customer who loved you last Tuesday has no idea where to find you this Thursday unless you tell them, clearly and consistently, everywhere they might look. That single logistical problem is the reason so many genuinely excellent food trucks never build the following their food deserves.

The Challenges

What's actually stopping food trucks from growing.

Location updates posted inconsistently or only on one platform, leaving followers guessing.
No Google Business Profile strategy, missing "food truck near me" searches entirely.
Content that's tasty but not built for shareability — no hook, no story, no reason to send it to a friend.
Event and festival booking left to inbound requests instead of active outreach to organizers.
A truck wrap and visual identity that doesn't stand out in a crowded festival lineup.

The Opportunity

Food trucks have the highest viral ceiling in hospitality.

The mobility that makes marketing harder also makes food trucks uniquely suited to short-form video — a truck at a new location, a signature dish being made, a line around the block are all genuinely compelling content formats. Combined with a disciplined daily-location system and proactive event booking outreach, this turns a logistics problem into a content advantage most fixed-location restaurants don't have.

Turning inconsistent location posts into a genuine daily following

The Challenge

A well-reviewed truck with strong food but scattered, inconsistent location updates across platforms.

Our Strategy

Build a disciplined daily-location posting system and a short-form video content cadence.

What We Did

Standardized daily location posts across Instagram, Google and a simple landing page, plus weekly short-form video content.

What we would measure

We set a baseline in week one, then track calls, direction requests, bookings, review count and map-pack position every month. No outcome is promised.
