Brunch, Buzz, and Beyond: How Dalina Turned Local Creators into Sales

Vancouver, BC

Introduction

Dalina, a beloved neighborhood gem since 2016, is known for its locally sourced, Italian-inspired dishes and specialty coffees. When they launched their new all-day brunch menu at their Chinatown and Broadway locations, the goal was simple: drive awareness and engagement for a menu that breaks the traditional “brunch hours” mold. The challenge? Showcase the food, the experience, and the Dalina App as the best way to order—all through creator-driven storytelling.

The Opportunity

Dalina wanted to introduce their brunch menu as a flexible, anytime experience while highlighting the Dalina App, which offered followers 60% off brunch and a coffee through a unique code. The campaign aimed to show that brunch at Dalina isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience worth sharing.

The Strategy

Relish crafted a creator campaign that emphasized authenticity, fun, and seamless digital ordering. Influencers were invited to bring a guest, enjoy brunch with coffee on the house, and share their experience via short-form video on Instagram Reels or TikTok. Each creator had a unique discount code to share with followers, incentivizing app downloads and orders.

Key tactics included:

  • Capturing light, airy, and vibrant visuals to reflect Dalina’s modern, community-friendly space
  • Highlighting the new brunch menu and coffee offerings in authentic, relatable settings
  • Demonstrating how easy it is to order through the Dalina App
  • Encouraging creators to share their unique code to give followers 60% off brunch and a coffee
  • Posting content that reflected each creator’s authentic voice while delivering key messages

The Results

  • 8 creator posts
  • 35,433 total views
  • 893 total engagements
  • 2.52% engagement rate

The campaign successfully positioned Dalina as the go-to spot for brunch at any hour, driving both awareness and excitement around the menu and app.

Why It Matters

This campaign proved that local, community-focused brands can harness creator authenticity to drive real-world engagement. Dalina didn’t just promote brunch—they made it an experience worth visiting, sharing, and ordering through their app.

Dalina turned influencers into advocates, and brunch into a social moment.
