/// To bring fresh energy to Howlin' Ray’s content, I proposed creating a documentary that highlights the origins of the brand, exploring how it evolved into the Nashville hot chicken sensation it is today. By telling the story behind the restaurant, its founders, and the unique flavors that set it apart, we aimed to connect with the audience on a deeper level. This documentary-style content, combined with showcasing the excitement of the new Pasadena location, would engage both loyal fans and new customers while reinforcing the brand’s authenticity and growth.
