Short-form content for the beloved Upstate New York institution turned national CPG pancake brand

Phoenica Diner

The “Challenge”

Phoenicia Diner, the famous classic diner has expanded into the national CPG space. They were looking for a way to translate the warmth, nostalgia, and personality of the diner into compelling digital storytelling.

I developed a video direction that highlighted the warmth, food culture, and sense of place that make Phoenicia Diner iconic — translating the experience of the diner into short-form storytelling for a national audience.

The focus was simple: make viewers feel like they were already sitting at the table.
