Southern California · Social media studio

We make restaurants impossible to scroll past.

Sumhouse is the social studio behind some of SoCal's most-craved kitchens — from neighborhood favorites to chains opening their very first U.S. doors. We turn great food into a feed people can't put down, and a line out the door.

What we do

One studio, the whole appetite for growth.

Strategy, content, and media under one roof — built specifically for the way people discover where to eat in 2026.

Content Studio

Scroll-stopping photo & video, shot on-site in your dining room and kitchen. Reels that make people hungry.

Social Management

Daily posting, community replies, trend-jacking and content calendars across Instagram, TikTok & more.

Paid Growth

Meta & TikTok ads engineered to fill tables — geo-targeted to the people within driving distance of a craving.

Brand & Strategy

Positioning, identity and voice that make a restaurant feel like a place — not just a menu.

Influencer & UGC

Creators who actually drive covers. We cast, brief and run partnerships that turn into reservations.

Launch Playbooks

New-location openings, done right. Pre-launch buzz, waitlists and grand-opening lines from day one.

Selected work

Kitchens we turned into destinations.
