Branding or rebranding for the hospitality sector – whether hotels, restaurants or bars – brings a unique set of challenges that not every creative agency may recognise.
Colt is a branding agency that specialises in the hospitality sector, creating brands across hotels, restaurants and bars for a range of global clients. With experience working on projects for the likes of Yum Brands, Starwood Capital and IHG, we recognise the complexities hospitality professionals face during transitional periods, from launching new interiors and recruiting staff to rolling out fresh F&B concepts. Agencies not taking the time to understand the brief, poorly communicating during the creative process or simply not hitting deadlines adds to what's already a demanding process. With new interiors, new staff, new F&B and more needing to be addressed, the creation and implementation of a new brand needs to be seamless.
We work alongside ambitious hospitality marketeers helping them to implement their vision. We don’t have a house style or any interest in following design fads that age quickly. We’re interested in communicating what makes your project unique and building brands together that last. Great hospitality venues thrive by developing a compelling narrative. So do great brands. Creating an emotional connection between your brand and your audience is at the heart of what we do. Our work is about more than selling a product or service. We sell your ethos; who you are, not what you are. Products and services can be imitated. Brands can’t.
