Creating a hospitality space that represents your brand can be challenging. It's not just about the design or ambiance, it's about the "feel" of the space. If your brand is edgy, you want to create a raw and unpolished feel. If your brand is upscale, you want a refined and elegant ambiance. But it's not just about creating a vibe. It's also about providing personalized experiences for guests. A great example is the Ritz Carlton, where they use a guest's name at least 3 times during interactions. But it's not just about the guests. Your team also needs to embody your brand. Every staff member needs to be trained to exemplify your brand's values. Like how Starbucks employees are renowned for their friendly demeanor and quick service. Creating a hospitality space that reflects your brand requires attention to every detail, from design to ambience to personalized service. But when you get it right, your guests will feel at home with your brand, and they'll be back for more.

The importance of branding is self-evident for hotels and restaurants—but often, the companies that build those businesses from scratch don’t invest the same time to establishing their own brands. Perhaps this stems from a stiff, old-school emphasis on “professionalism,” but we’d argue that operators, developers and hospitality groups can benefit greatly from emulating the energy of the industries they work in. That’s why we’re so excited to be creating a custom brand identity for a new hospitality consultancy with decades of experience in the space. Rather than a stiff corporate vibe, these clients sought to showcase a sense of taste that feels both forward-thinking and timeless—just like their portfolio of work. #moodboard #creativeprocess

An interesting and fun afternoon at Imbibe 24 yesterday. In a hall at London's Olympia packed full of drinks and hospitality brands Beth Marchant and I: - tried nut moonshine (amazing), Moutai (biggest drinks brand in the world with a awe inspiring story, but frankly disgusting!), and a beautiful cocktail from the team at the bar in the Shard's Shangri-La Hotel - learnt that there's no tax on beer up to 3.4% ABV which is why there are so many 3% beers coming out now, that there are around 100,000 wines on sales in the UK, and that during COVID BAME hospitality workers were 26x more likely to lose their jobs - saw so many opportunities for brand design agencies to be at this conference, telling the drinks and hospitality industries about the value they can bring And yet, not a single brand design agency on any stage! OFFF, D&AD, HOW, SXSW - you can't move for brand design agencies, and rightly so. But our industry is missing a trick by not being out and having a presence at conferences in other sectors. At Red Setter we're changing that. We're getting our clients out on these stages. #prfordesignagencies

Govind Shepley, creative director and founder of TwentyOne06, says: “When approaching design for existing F&B brands, we are not reinventing the wheel. We play on their strengths.” Shepley discusses how established F&B brands can refresh their spaces through strategic design tweaks. By focusing on materiality and design direction, venues can balance familiarity with innovation. Highlighting specific brand elements, like cooking techniques and artistic connections, ensures the design concept aligns with the brand's identity.
