Chef Robin Song had a vision for a “California farm to Korean table” restaurant but needed startup capital to get it off the ground. Communicating one’s vision to potential investors can be difficult, even more so in the crowded food service world. Professional, persuasive collateral is needed to get buy-in and raise funds. We helped Chef Song communicate his concept’s differentiation and value, develop a visual brand, and construct messaging and assets for distribution and fundraising with key Bay Area investors.

Branding and visual identity

To stake out Junju’s place in the growing farm-to-table space, we explored typography, colors, and imagery, including food photography, to tell the venture’s story as a combination of history and heritage alongside current trends in the restaurant industry. Junju chose a logo that echoed Korean characters, colors that called to mind the agricultural continuity and connections between Korea and California, and bold photography that showcased big flavors and modern takes on classics.

Investor kit

Junju’s primary communication challenge lay with investors. In a crowded market, how can a startup cut through the noise and get attention? We crafted a complete investor kit and digital campaign to make an impression and streamline the journey from initial contact to investment. With a full suite of assets including PDFs, landing pages, presentations, and even physical collateral, Junju was equipped to express its value to investors in an effectively unique way.

Website

The most critical brand touchpoints in the world today are websites. Employing the brand identity and visual identity guidelines we helped Junju develop, we designed an inviting website that integrated messaging around Junju’s story of tradition and the unique food it offered. Executing digital experience best practices, a sleek, inviting, and compelling digital presence was established for Junju.
