The Challenge
Before the notoriety and recognition, The Blue Duck and Chef Trenton couldn’t get the recognition and traction online they thought they should be getting. And they tried for years.

RESULTS
Achieved annual sales record and increased revenue by 60%
In 2019, its first full year partnering with Imig, The Blue Duck set an annual sales record. The restaurant has achieved year-over-year records every year since partnering with Imig. From 2019 through 2024, the restaurant has increased revenue by 60%.
Chef Trenton Garvey made it on to Hell’s Kitchen, thanks in part to Imig’s video storytelling audition. Following his victory on the show, Garvey served as the Executive Chef at Gordon Ramsay Steak in Las Vegas and later, The Bedford by Martha Stewart. He returned home to The Blue Duck in late 2023
We see people come in on a daily basis now because of what we’re posting on social media, something we just couldn’t accomplish ourselves and we tried for years.
