We developed a cohesive, 360º marketing strategy that aligned with Hestan Culinary’s brand positioning and product offerings. We reimagined the brand’s visual language into a differentiated, best-in-class look and feel that reflected its luxury status and reinforced each collection’s unique personality and strengths. Our approach highlighted Hestan Culinary’s commercial heritage, celebrated its chefs, and told the brand story in a way that resonated with consumers, elevated awareness, and helped drive share from competitors.

We conducted stakeholder interviews, immersive workshop sessions, and in-depth market research to inform the development of a comprehensive brand strategy. This process included refining brand positioning, articulating a brand manifesto, redefining the brand identity, and creating a cohesive visual language and brand guidelines. We also led photoshoot art direction, creative direction, and marketing campaigns to ensure that the new brand architecture and visual system were consistently brought to life across all touchpoints.
