Identity

Visual branding

Through the choice of color palette, an abundance of patterns and symbols, a selection of materials, and  high-end finishes all the way to the website design and content, we’ve aspired to capture a rich and modern, yet timeless and sophisticated look and feel. The quest to find outstanding solutions turned out to be recognized, admired, and well worthwhile.

Campaign Strategy

Marketing Strategy

We’ve impersonated Josephine from day one. Despite its opening at the probably most undesirable time (March of 2020), our kindred spirit and unbeatable enthusiasm for an innovative approach resulted in a strong brand positioning through communication strategy even during times the restaurant was closed, just five days after its grand opening.

Keeping the spirit of Josephine Baker alive, while building its own aura around grand cocktails of authentic formulas, and signature lavish yet quirky international food selection was a guiding light.  We’ve been telling a story and helped Josephine earn its well-deserved place as one of the top places in Serbia through consistent content creation, photo and video shoots, editorials, copywriting, ads,  and overall brand management.
