Slices, buns and beers

After collaborating with graphic design duo, mikesian studio, on MELT’s bold logo and suite of characters, we set out to shape a bright and colourful brand, serving a slice of city life to Bromsgrove’s traditional high street.

With a mid-pandemic opening date on the horizon, we crafted a digitally-led experience, focussed on simplifying the guest journey, rewarding loyalty, and driving repeat custom; all underpinned by an adaptable and multi-faceted technological ecosystem.

This 360-degree project, filled with both creative and technical challenges, positioned the eatery for a triumphant opening, and gifted the town an unmissable dining destination, bursting with franchise potential.
