## Story

As expert brand builders, Push will solidify Small Sliders’ brand positioning, brand identity, and develop marketing and paid media strategies to drive the business. Push is also focused on the brand’s meteoric rise by helping support franchise and local marketing, continuing to drive the brand’s rapid growth.

“Very few agencies understand the intricacies of both the brand and the business sides of the restaurant industry as well as the team at Push,” said Michael Alberici, SVP and head of marketing for Smalls Sliders. “Their experience in restaurant branding, marketing and disruptive creative makes them the perfect partners to hit the ground running and make big impact quickly.”

Smalls Sliders opened its first restaurant in 2019 and has since grown to nine locations, with over 100+ locations already in the development pipeline. The differentiated, intentionally limited menu, strong unit economics and modular construction design have already garnered industry recognition, with QSR magazine featuring the brand in its “40/40 List for 2022: America's Hottest Startup Fast Casuals” and Nation’s Restaurant News naming it one of the publication’s “Breakout Brands of 2023,” in addition to ranking on this year’s Entrepreneur magazine “Top New & Emerging Franchises” list.

“[Smalls] is one of those rare clients. It’s a simple, craveable product, with an organic cult-like following, and helmed by the best talent in the industry. We’re excited to be Pushing the brand to its full potential,” said Push Partner and Chief Creative Officer, Mark Unger.

Founded in 1996, Push is a full-service advertising and marketing agency in Orlando, Florida. With their extensive knowledge and experience in the restaurant category, Push has supported significant branding, marketing and advertising initiatives for many household names in the restaurant world.

Smalls Sliders was the brainchild of Founder Brandon Landry, with former pro-football NFL quarterback Drew Brees joining him as an initial investor, and is backed by industry veterans at 10 Point Capital. The QSR restaurant focuses exclusively on craveable premium cheeseburger sliders, with every meal cooked to order. Smalls Sliders delivers both drive-thru and popular walk-up experiences, serviced from a unique modular construction design, allowing real estate flexibility and rapid construction of new restaurants.

As a fast-growing concept dedicated to serving fresh, cooked-to-order cheeseburger sliders, the Smalls Sliders franchise opportunity brings real estate flexibility and rapid construction of new restaurants with its unique modular design.
