Shake Shack – The 5th Ever Polar Brrrger Club

Shake Shack
http://www.shakeshacknyc.com
11 Madison Ave
New York, NY 10010

“Brave/Silly Humans Are Eating Hamburgers Outside Today & You Can Too” was the title of the article published by Gothamist about the 5th ever Polar Brrrger Club. The person that sent it to me felt a little awkward about having to deliver that message. Well guess what? NO WORRIES!

We are honored and proud to be recognized as being both brave & silly in our pursuits to freeze off our hands trying to chomp down a tasty Burger! Thanks Gothamist!

If and when there is a giant winter snow storm, huge blizzard,  snowmageddon, snowpocalypse, polar vortex, or whatever nom du jour is given to a blustering snow flake driven cold front into NYC, I put out the call to New York’s hungriest and courageous Burger eaters to be a part of the “Polar Brrrger Club.”

It’s a play on the name of the long running club of winter bathers who take a polar bear plunge into the freezing waters off Coney Island on New Years Day. While they strip down to just some summer style swim wear and dive feet first into icy waters, we round up and eat Hamburgers in the cold.

The wearing of Hawaiian shirts or guayabera at the gathering is encouraged but not enforced.

Thanks to all the Polar Brrrger Clubbers that came out to brave the cold and have a good time. As only could happen in New York City, a flock of pigeons surrounded us in an attempt to get some our eats. One of them, who I can only assume was the actual Godpigeon mounted a violent attack on me. My only option was to surrender my bacon cheddar fries. Its a shame, because those are some excellent fries!

 

HISTORY

Thank you to the Burger fantastics at Gothamist who always take the time to promote the event and find a new way to poke fun at our fun. I sincerely appreciate it!

The 5th Ever Polar Brrrger Club To Happen at Shake Shack HQ

THE POLAR BRRRGER CLUB RETURNS!

New York City-based blog Burger Conquest announces the 5th ever Polar Brrrger Club.

March 15, 2017
1:00 pm

Location: Madison Square Park, NYC – Shake Shack
Madison Square Park, Madison Ave & E.23rd St, New York, NY 10010

As New York City is blanketed by late winter storm Stella, New York area residents will take refuge at home after they have over booked FreshDirect, taxed the delivery person from their local restaurant or existed completely on bodega sandwiches. For those of us with a deep hunger and sense of adventure,  we will gather once again for the 5th ever “Polar Brrrger Club.”


Hosted by David “Rev” Ciancio, founder of the Burger Conquest blog and creator of The Ultimate Food Holiday Calendar, this event happens when a significant snowstorm or blizzard unleashes its wrath upon the Big Apple.

With a potential of 3-5 inches of snow turning into sleet and freezing rain, the city’s hungriest should gather onWednesday, March 15 at 1:00 p.m. EST for some serious Burger eating.  All fearless burger junkies are encouraged to dress up in their best Hawaiian shirts and sunglasses (not a requirement) and battle the blizzard to enjoy a Shake Shack Burger and fries.

“This is New York. We have some of the best Burgers in the world and some of the hungriest eaters. There’s no way we’ll let the Snow Miser stand in the way of getting a hot and tasty Burger. While the rest of you are hidden under 3 blankets, wrapped up in multiple layers of clothing and really making life hard on restaurant delivery folk, The Burgeratti will be winning at life eating Burgers in the snow.”

As a special bonus, Rev Ciancio will have a special announcement happening during the meeting of the Polar Brrrger Club that the NY Burger community is definitely going to be interested in!

#Hashtag for this event will be #PolarBrrrger

Shake Shack is located at Madison Square Park, Madison Ave & E.23rd St, New York, NY 10010.

Rev Ciancio Joins Yext as Director, Partner Marketing

I’m honored and excited to announce that next week I will be starting as the Director, Partner Marketing at YextBrick and mortar businesses use their cloud-based software to correct, manage, and control their location data and online reputation.

As you probably know, I am a huge advocate for both location-based marketing and also reputation management. In 2015 search queries on Google for “near me” doubled and if that’s not proof that local is king in search, type in the word “Burger” into a Google search and tell me what you get. The top results will be for restaurants known for serving Burgers.

It doesn’t matter if you’re looking for a Burger recipe, grinding instructions or the history of Burgers, the search engines prioritize local search first. That means if you are a location based business owner or a marketer for a company that has location based businesses, search should be the foundation of your marketing plan.

I learned this brick by brick when I was a co-owner in a bar in NYC. Idle Hands Bar may not have been the busiest bar, but we certainly figured out how to out market our competition using location based search, SEO, content marketing and reputation management (ratings and reviews).

When you do location based marketing and your location data is correct, you can compete on the same level as the biggest of companies. Learning the power that gives you turned me into a proponent which eventually lead me to learning about Yext and what advantages their software can give a location based business.

I’ve had the pleasure of using the Yext Location Cloud not only to learn more about the subject but also to help some of my own clients embrace the future of marketing.  

In my new role, I will have the honor of working to with both the sales and marketing teams to help ensure the success of Yext’s amazing reseller partners and their brick & mortar clients. I look forward to bringing my experience as an owner of both a brand marketing agency and a local bar/restaurant to help businesses all over the globe drive more customers through their front doors.

Want to learn more about Yext? Check out how brands like Ben & Jerry’s, Cicis, Denny’s, Freebirds World Burrito, and Huddle House are using Yext to attract more customers today: Yext Customer Success Stories
