Restaurant marketing veteran Chuck McAulay has launched conneXsions, a new company specializing in making strategic introductions that serve as growth catalysts for small and medium businesses. With over 30 years of experience working with major brands including Burger King, Bonefish Grill, AMF Bowling (now Bowlero), and Hard Rock Café International, McAulay brings extensive industry knowledge to his role as Chief Catalyst Officer.
The company focuses on helping restaurants, hospitality companies, and entertainment businesses navigate the complex landscape of available solutions. McAulay stated, "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." This approach addresses a critical need in the industry where business owners often lack time for long-term strategic relationship building.
conneXsions offers multiple services including facilitating vendor-to-vendor collaborations, serving as a start-up technology partner, developing influencer marketing programs, and producing grand opening events. The company also provides fractional support for projects when businesses need specialized expertise without committing to full-time hires. Clients benefit from McAulay's expertise as a storyteller and negotiator dedicated to building personalized brands that attract target markets.
The launch of conneXsions comes at a time when small and medium businesses face increasing challenges in identifying reliable partners and vendors. McAulay's guiding principle emphasizes that "meaningful connections deliver mutual value," addressing the common problem where urgent day-to-day responsibilities prevent business owners from focusing on strategic relationship development.

By leveraging McAulay's three decades of experience with national brands, conneXsions offers businesses access to vetted partnerships and strategic connections that might otherwise be inaccessible to smaller operations. The company's focus on mutually beneficial relationships positions it as a valuable resource for businesses seeking to expand their capabilities and market reach through carefully curated professional networks.
