Social media content producer · Toronto

Restaurant content that fills tables.

I plan, shoot, edit and publish photo and video for Toronto restaurants, then put Meta Ads behind what works. 21,000+ followers grown across three restaurant accounts since 2024.

About

Hi, I'm Artem.

A one-person content team for restaurants: idea, shoot, edit, publish, then ads behind what works.

Since June 2024 I've produced content for Toronto restaurants and a marketing agency. I want content that looks good and brings people in, so I track followers, booking taps and leads, not just views.
