What We Do at Social High Rise

We are a social media 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 restaurants, online, through social media. 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:

• develop authentic content and post to a variety of social media platforms each week.
• reach out to customers on review sites by crafting and sending genuine responses to individuals who write positive and challenging reviews.
• engage with customers by sharing the photos they took in-house and responding to customer questions and comments posted online.

Our “Things” At Social High Rise

At Social High Rise, we hustle as a team, take ownership of our work, and operate with empathy. We strive to remain optimistic, humble, and resourceful with all things. We act thoughtfully and responsibly, with each other, our clients, and our community. 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 at 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. In March, 2020, our whole team quickly transitioned to working remotely due to COVID-19. Our way of work has always been structured to be able to operate anywhere, so our transition was pretty smooth, though we’re always learning and finding ways to improve. Most of our team is currently still working remotely and some are working safely at our office headquarters in Chico, CA.

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. Sometimes we take screenshots during meetings, and that's fun. If it’s your birthday, we’ll probably sing to you, too. 

Perks: Flexible work schedules, unlimited paid vacation, medical/dental/vision benefits, retirement contributions, remote work, cell phone stipend, paid learning opportunities, leadership development, 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, friendship, personal growth, and more!
