Spark | Piece Pizzeria

Company: Piece Pizzeria

What sparked our interest:

We love our Chicago pizza! Piece is one of our favorites and we were heartbroken to see them close for a few weeks during this crazy period in time. (Don’t worry. They have reopened and their marketing is on point!)

Piece sparked our interest with a social media post featuring a patron email combined with a genuine heartfelt message.

What we love: 

In these unprecedented times, the measures required to protect patrons from COVID 19 has forced restaurants to switch to delivery, contactless pickup or even shut down. It’s a hard time for everyone and yet Piece found a way to engage their audience with a simple email from a patron during their shut down. The Piece team continued to post through the pause in service and this post is just one of the examples where they successfully sparked engagement while creating a Garrett Special.

The 3 takeaways you should be doing today: 

  1. Never stop engaging with your audience. Learn from the USPS: Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night should stop you from posting quality content.
  2. Keep your content lighthearted in challenging situations.
  3. Remain authentic. Piece has a flair for content and throughout the experience, they keep their authenticity and gracefully thank their fans.

 

About Piece Pizzeria & Brewery: 

In 2001, Bill Jacobs and Matt Brynildson opened Piece with a focus on locally brewed beers and New Haven-style thin-crust pizza. The restaurant and brewery have been delighting Chicago pizza- and beer-lovers ever since.

Success in Marketing: How to Define It, Measure It, and Actually Achieve It in 2026

Key Takeaways For most of the firms we work with, marketing success isn't a viral post or a follower count — it's a steady drumbeat of qualified conversations with the right kind of buyer.

A working marketing program for a B2B service firm has four legs: a...

The 2026 Consultant Value Proposition: Your Blueprint for Winning Clients

Nearly 70% of new consulting ventures never scale past their first five clients. Read that again. The common thread isn't a lack of skill. It's a failure to communicate a clear, compelling reason for a client to choose them over the dozens of other people fighting for the same RFP. Your consultant value proposition is not your job title. It's the specific result a client can count on you to...

Crafting Your Consultant Niche Strategy for 2026

Can you state what you do and who you do it for in under ten seconds — out loud, without hesitating? If not, your business is leaving money on the floor. A vague niche scatters your marketing, confuses prospects, and forces you to compete on price with people who actually picked a lane. The most successful consultants in 2026 aren't generalists. They're known for solving one specific problem...

The Consultant’s Guide to a High-Converting Lead Magnet

Your business card is not a lead magnet. It's a souvenir from a conversation neither of you remembers. For consultants, waiting around for referrals is a growth-limiting strategy dressed up as a business model. A real lead magnet does the work for you — it pulls qualified prospects into your orbit by solving a specific, urgent problem they're losing sleep over right now. It's also the...

Building a Reliable Consultant Lead Generation System

Every consultant knows the gut-punch of an empty pipeline. Your income depends on a steady stream of qualified conversations, but generating them feels like guessing the next song on a shuffled playlist. Random. Hopeful. Stressful. What if you stopped guessing and built a machine instead? A dedicated consultant lead generation system replaces sporadic effort with predictable results. It's a...
