Michael Tronn, Creative Director and Chief Marketing Officer at TIMBR, a visionary dining destination that’s redefining luxury hospitality in Fort Lauderdale with immersive design, elevated cuisine, and emotional storytelling joins Enterprise Radio.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Michael Tronn discuss the following:
- You’ve designed and launched over 30 venues, but TIMBR feels especially personal. What was your creative North Star when designing TIMBR, and how do you ensure your spaces resonate so emotionally with guests?
- Las Olas Boulevard is undergoing a renaissance—how do you see TIMBR shaping or reflecting this cultural and culinary shift in Fort Lauderdale?
- TIMBR’s “Vineyard Cuisine” concept is unique. Can you talk about how that idea came to life and how business owners can use storytelling to elevate their brand?
- You’ve worn many hats: designer, creative director, nightlife visionary. What advice would you give entrepreneurs on curating brand experiences that truly stand out in competitive markets?
- What are some hospitality trends you’re seeing in 2025 that you believe are here to stay—and how should restaurateurs adapt to stay relevant?
TIP: “Create spaces—not just restaurants or brands. When you build a space that speaks to all five senses, and you layer in purpose, beauty, and originality, you don’t just capture customers—you create loyalty. Don’t chase trends; create emotional resonance.”
