01 The brand
A cafe in Ballygunge, Kolkata, competing for the city's evenings out.
02 The challenge
Kolkata has no shortage of places to spend an evening. A cafe feed full of menu items looks like every other one.
03 Strategic thinking
A feed full of menu items looks like every other café. The brand spoke in occasions, wordplay and warmth, so it feels like a place to spend an evening, not a list of dishes.
Communication approach
- Occasion-led posts
- Visual wordplay
- Warm illustration
- Food and drink photographed as moments, not menu items
Chapter 01 · The voice
A cafe with a voice
Occasion-led posts, visual wordplay and warm illustration that make the cafe feel like a place, not a menu.
Chapter 02 · The menu as a mood
The menu as a mood
Food and drink photographed as moments, not menu items. Crisp, golden and made fresh: copy and styling that sell the feeling of the visit before the dish.
People don’t visit a menu. They visit a feeling.
Outcomes
No performance figures are published for this project. It is shown for its brand thinking and creative direction.
