What We Do at Social High Rise

We are a small online marketing agency specializing in the restaurant and hospitality industry, established in 2012. For over a decade, we have been the eyes, ears, and voice of small and medium sized locally-owned restaurants, online. We manage online listings and menus, social media platforms, websites, and email marketing. When we partner with a restaurant or small business owner/manager, we take the online customer service and social media management piece off of their plate so they don’t have to worry about it. We have restaurant clients located all over the United States! Here’s what we do:

• Online Marketing: Develop authentic organic content and paid ad campaigns and post to a variety of social media platforms each week, including Facebook, Instagram, Google, and Email Marketing.
• Online Customer Service: Respond customers on review sites by crafting and sending genuine responses to individuals who write positive and challenging reviews.
• Local SEO Management: Monitor, manage, and update online listings and menus.

At Social High Rise, we work closely as a team, take ownership of our work, and operate with empathy. We strive to remain optimistic, humble, and resourceful with all things. We strive to put people first. We’re a “flat” organization -- meaning we all work together without hierarchies or complex channels of communication. 

Other Stuff

Social High Rise was established in 2012, and our office headquarters is located in the heart of Downtown Chico, CA, in an old “grand ballroom” on the 3rd floor of a 100+ year old building. We’re a small agency, built from the ground-up, and our team tends to stick around for a while. 

We gather for "team time" via Zoom each week to review company milestones, recognize team accomplishments, and shamelessly share our blunders because we all make mistakes and that’s okay. 

Perks : Monday through Friday work schedules (in general) BUT schedules can also be flexible, unlimited paid vacation, medical/dental/vision benefits, remote work, cell phone/internet stipend, experience working with a small team of thoughtful people, free pizza from the best pizza joint in town (if you can make it to our office headquarters in Chico), CA, personal growth, and more!

Job Description

• Perform mild photo editing.
• Create graphics using Canva. NOT ChatGBT.
