HUNTRESS

For the steakhouse, we were tasked with creating an identity that would stand out in a crowded space. The Gaslamp Quarter had seen the recent addition of three new steakhouses, two of them connected to national brands. We knew our identity would need to be distinctive and memorable. Additionally, our work needed to be scalable and easily implemented across various marketing channels by an internal team.

The Huntress Steak and Whisky Society brand was inspired by primal instincts and the sweet and agonizing anticipation that goes with pursuing the finest prizes nature has to offer. Early visual exploration leveraged organic textures, gilded materials, intense and emotive portraiture, and dark imagery to showcase Huntress’ carefully crafted menu items. We developed copy to harmonize the sophistication of fine cuisine with the raw aspects of the hunt.

We delivered brand position and brand strategy, full visual and verbal identity, marketing headlines, opening invitations, pre-opening campaign, social media examples, merchandise, experiential concepts, interior execution ideas, menu designs, and more. We complied a thorough brand standards manual to help ensure the consistent application of the Huntress brand.

The Huntress brand is strong and has been well received internally and externally. Our work supported pre-launch and launch marketing, and continues to serve the brand, providing a valuable compass as new events and promotions are created, and new guests are engaged.
