At LickYourPhone Media, our mission is simple: to deliver high-impact, cost-efficient marketing strategies that shake up the hospitality scene. Founded by 2023 Woman of the Year - Social Media, Rita Agoulian, LickYourPhone Media has carved out a reputation as a dynamic social media and marketing powerhouse.
Our success is fuelled by our team’s genuine obsession for everything food and hospitality, a strong social media presence and attention from giants like E! News, NBC Universal, Insider, TimeOut and LADbible. Highlights include transforming Newtown's Tokyo Taco into a viral TikTok sensation, leading to 40% growth in the first three months, and increasing bookings by 40% at Ho Jiak Town Hall. For each of our clients we craft custom strategies which tap into the power of social media and events to create viral buzz, drive brand awareness, generate bookings and create rapid business growth for hospitality businesses.
What truly sets us apart is our people-first philosophy. At LickYourPhone Media, our team is part of a family that values each person’s unique creative strengths. This human-centred way of operating extends to our clients, too. We see them as partners in the truest sense, not transactions.

We bring a unique blend of innovative energy and proven success to the table. Our journey is marked by rapid growth, recognition and a trophy case that’s quickly filling up – recognised in 22 awards in 24 months.
We’ve partnered with over 100 clients since launching in 2019, from local restaurants to global heavyweights like McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Cadbury’s, Hungry Jacks and Doritos. Yahoo! has named us one of Australia’s Top Marketing Agencies and our Director Rita's expertise in social media secured her a spot as a judge on Celebrity Apprentice Australia. Our support during the pandemic helped many restaurants stay open. Now, as Australia faces economic uncertainty, we are once again revitalising businesses with creative, viral promotions.
We’re an organisation that knows that success is all about our people. Our shared excitement for our work and a commitment to excellence is what makes a difference. Yes, our team of social media strategists, creatives and foodies are customer-focused and results-driven, but they also genuinely love coming to work each day – and it shows in our industry-leading results.
We’re not just keeping pace; we’re setting it, with a clear-eyed focus on what’s next. LickYourPhone Media is where bold ideas create real-world impact.
