Trevelino/keller Expands Lifestyle Practice With Addition Of Fast-growing Restaurant Franchise

Nov. 9, 2009 - PRLog -- Trevelino/Keller Communications Group, an integrated public relations, social media and brand communications firm, today announces the addition of Stevi B’s Pizza to its food and beverage concentration. Founded in 1996 in Atlanta, Ga., Stevi B’s is the restaurant industry's only national premium pizza buffet franchise.

“We’re thrilled to work with Trevelino/Keller Communications Group,” says Matthew Loney, president, Stevi B’s. “Trevelino/Keller’s preparation during the agency search process and obvious expertise in the food and beverage and franchise industries was impressive. We needed an agency that could truly elevate us to the next level in our industry and hit the ground running – which is exactly what they did during our first ever Free 100 Pizza Giveaway in early October. We look forward to many successful efforts with them in 2010.”

Trevelino/Keller will focus on traditional local and trade media placement, grand opening support, franchise sales, conference and tradeshow strategies, speaker’s bureau efforts and social media support for Stevi B’s corporate and its more than 30 franchised locations.

“Stevi B’s is a young brand with so much potential in a category that in my opinion has fallen considerably in quality and experience at the chain level, ” states Dean Trevelino, principal with Trevelino/Keller. “The brand’s new leadership and appetite for pushing the envelope will make this an exciting relationship.”
