Restaurant Marketing Veteran Chuck McAulay Launches conneXsions to Facilitate Strategic Business Partnerships

Restaurant marketing veteran Chuck McAulay has launched conneXsions, a new company specializing in strategic introductions that serve as growth catalysts for small and medium businesses. With over 30 years of industry experience working with major brands including Burger King, Bonefish Grill, AMF Bowling (now Bowlero), and Hard Rock Café International, McAulay brings extensive expertise to his role as Chief Catalyst Officer.

McAulay stated, "I'm thrilled to launch conneXsions for restaurants, hospitality and entertainment companies, and other businesses that need help navigating the complex landscape of solutions available to them. Whether they're looking to streamline operations, enhance customer experience or drive growth, we connect our clients with partners who understand their specific needs and can deliver real results."

The company's core specialty involves facilitating mutually beneficial partnerships between brands and the right vendors, platforms, and tools to solve business challenges and unlock new opportunities. conneXsions enables vendor-to-vendor collaborations, serves as a start-up technology partner to assist with connections and innovation, develops influencer marketing and brand ambassador programs, and produces grand opening events and launches.

McAulay emphasized his guiding principle, stating, "Meaningful connections deliver mutual value, but with all the urgent day-to-day responsibilities in running a business, there often isn't time for longer-term thinking. We help clients build the relationships they need to grow and thrive — one connection at a time." The company also provides fractional support for projects when businesses need specialized expertise without a full-time commitment.
