Client: Bless’d Sips & Slices
Industry: Pizza Restaurant
Location: Kelowna, British Columbia
Launching Bless’d Sips & Slices wasn’t about opening just another pizza shop in Kelowna. It was about creating a go-to hangout near Gyro Beach where students, families, and soda lovers could come together. To make it work, the Bless’d team needed more than a menu and storefront, they set out to become Kelowna’s first dirty soda destination, pairing artisan pizza with a community vibe.
Beyond great pizza, Bless’d was built on a bigger mission: to give back to the community. With 10% of every slice going back into local causes, they weren’t just creating a restaurant, they were creating a movement of food, fun, and generosity.
This meant tackling challenges head-on:
- Establishing a bew brand in the competitive Kelowna food scene
- Fulfilling the need for a modern, responsive website with easy online ordering
- Developing a clear brand identity (voice, visuals, values) from day one
- Driving pre-launch buzz and awareness through strategic use of social media
- Designing a fun, elevated UI/UX that ranks for relevant keywords and converts users
- Optimizing for SEO and performance to rank for pizza and dirty soda in Kelowna
- Ensuring a steady stream of foot traffic from both locals and tourists
- Positioning Bless’d as the go-to for fast, high-quality slices, while giving back 10% to the community
Bless’d needed to hit the ground running with a cohesive strategy, one that combined branding, marketing, design, and digital optimization to position them as more than a pizza shop, but a cultural touchpoint in the Okanagan.
Our Strategic Approach to the Challenge
Right after our initial 1:1 session, we set clear objectives and milestones to tackle the challenges of launching Bless’d Sips & Slices in Kelowna’s competitive food scene. From the start, we positioned them as a brand rooted in community, faith, and creativity, ensuring the identity felt authentic, youthful, and undeniably local.
We designed and built a modern, responsive site that looked great and performed flawlessly across mobile and desktop. Beyond stunning visuals, we developed intuitive navigation, clear calls-to-action for online orders, and engaging content that showcased the brand story, from artisan pizza to customizable dirty sodas. On the backend, we structured the site with SEO best practices baked in: keyword research, optimized copy, and technical foundations that allowed Bless’d to quickly build authority and rank locally to capture search demand from Kelowna pizza lovers and the city’s growing dirty soda trend.
Much like their pizza, this recipe of thoughtful design, functional build, strategic content, and SEO optimization came together fresh, hot, and ready to deliver results. Every element was carefully crafted create to a digital presence that not only looked good, but was served up to attract attention, satisfy customers, and keep them coming back for more.
