Famed Chinese Restaurant Sunny Garden Selects CrowdConnect as Agency of Record

Asian restaurant maven Eric Chen has selected CrowdConnect Group of Princeton, NJ as the agency of record for his flagship Sunny Garden location, also in Princeton. Lead by Founding Partner Patrick Diogenia, the agency will re-brand the restaurant and introduce new menus and marketing campaigns.



    PRINCETON, NJ, December 18, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- When industry veteran Eric Chen assumed the reins at Chinese stalwart Sunny Garden last year, he undertook a glut of improvements like expanding the sushi bar, selecting new artwork and remodeling the bathrooms. To step up the cuisine, he commingled the existing chefs with new talent from his successful Hanami chain, seeking to balance tradition with innovation.

In addition to d cor and cuisine, it seems Chen's fastidious quest for perfection also extends to the marketing department. After twenty years without an affiliated firm, Chen has selected CrowdConnect Group, also of Princeton, as the restaurant's agency of record.

"Next year Sunny Garden turns 21," Chen explained, "so the restaurant is growing up, it's now mature. I believe CrowdConnect is the agency with the best vision for what Sunny Garden will represent to a new generation of diners, as well as the community at large."

CrowdConnect will assume all marketing and advertising duties for the restaurant, but plans to first concentrate its focus on a menu re-conceptualization, website redesign and crafting a new graphic identity for the restaurant. "Sunny Garden is the standard-bearer of Chinese restaurants in New Jersey," said Patrick Diogenia, Founding Partner of CrowdConnect. "Their new marketing and promotional materials, up to and including the menu, will reflect that positioning."
