Concerto starts steak revolution

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Mr Mikes - DeclarationOn May 25th, concerto marketing launched a campaign for MR MIKES Steakhouse & Bar in British Columbia and Alberta. The new positioning for the 50 year old heritage brand was revealed after almost a year of research, intensive strategic planning and creative development.

The ‘Steak For All’ movement is a consumer rallying cry against the elitism of typical steakhouse chains and demand for steak equality. The Steak Liberation Front published their Declaration of Steak Dependence in community newspapers and recited it on local radio stations across both provinces. Democratic steak promotions will soon follow.
