01, The challenge

The challenge: what Qian xi set out to achieve

Qianxi is an all-you-can-eat Asian hot pot restaurant offering a convivial, immersive experience.

Despite an appealing concept, the restaurant needed to:

boost its local visibility,

structure its presence on TikTok and Instagram,

turn its digital audience into real, measurable footfall.

The goal was clear: make Qianxi a must-visit spot for hot pot lovers.

All-you-can-eat Asian hot pot is a shared meal. Customers rarely come alone, and the decision is often made as a group, based on a video sent in a chat between friends.

02, The approach

What we put in place

We supported the client end to end, with a comprehensive approach covering strategy, content production and event activation.

Key initiatives

Structuring the social media strategy

An editorial line centred on:

the immersive hot pot experience

the generosity of the offer

the convivial, shared atmosphere

Performance-optimised content production

Immersive videos showcasing:

the variety of ingredients

the table settings

the atmosphere and customer experience

Optimised hooks, pacing and vertical format to maximise organic reach.

Strategic giveaways

A digital giveaway designed to:

create a spike in visibility

drive engagement

increase bookings over a targeted period

In-restaurant event activation

Creating highlight moments to boost footfall and strengthen local awareness.

The videos were filmed on site, in vertical 9:16, with shots of full tables and bubbling broths. The hooks in the first two seconds show the abundance before explaining the concept.

The content is subtitled and published on TikTok and Instagram, with highlights around the giveaways and events held at the restaurant.

04, The results

What it delivered

The strategy delivered significant results:

+150% increase in restaurant footfall during activation periods

Notable rise in bookings following the giveaways

Significant revenue growth

Beyond the numbers, the partnership has proved long-lasting.

The client placed complete trust in us, enabling ongoing strategic support adjusted to performance.

Today, Qianxi is positioned as a lively, attractive destination for all-you-can-eat hot pot.

The 150% increase in footfall applies to the activation periods, those of the giveaways and events. This figure should not be read as an annual average.

A studio that creates 9:16 content, the native format of TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. These videos are designed for mobile viewing and platform algorithms. Esekai produces them in our Paris studio or on location at clients' sites across France.

A creative ads agency designs video ads built for social platforms: tested hooks, native 9:16 formats and data-driven iterations. At Esekai, every creative ad is produced in-house in Paris (script, shoot, edit), then adapted for TikTok Ads and Meta Ads to lower your acquisition costs.

A UGC studio in Paris gives you access to a network of creators, fast shoots and creative direction that knows the codes of social media. Esekai handles casting, scripts and production of your UGC videos from start to finish, with authentic content that converts better than traditional advertising.

Creative ads are structured advertising for paid media (TikTok Ads, Meta Ads). UGC videos mirror authentic creator content to build trust and convert. Organic content builds your social presence over the long term. The three are complementary.
