OpenTable

A social-first campaign for OpenTable, as part of their ICON series celebrating London’s most iconic dining rooms. Working as Senior Producer alongside broadcaster and presenter Clara Amfo, the project brought to life the stories behind two landmark restaurants: Darjeeling Express, where Asma Khan’s all-female kitchen channels the “Shakti” energy at the heart of her soulful Indian home cooking, and Trinity, Adam Byatt’s Michelin-starred restaurant with more than 20 years of history.

I led a small team to draw out authentic stories, personal reflections, and behind-the-scenes moments from both talent and contributors — shaping content that felt immersive, culturally rich, and emotionally engaging, while staying true to OpenTable’s brand and social-first audience.

Final assets included a 60-second social reel (Instagram/TikTok) and a 20-second ad (YouTube/Meta). The campaign organically outperformed the client’s best-ever post, reaching nearly 2,000 likes.
