Fira is Open!

This is, hands down, the biggest project we’ve ever taken on—and honestly? It’s been wild. What started as a branding challenge snowballed into everything. We’re talking furniture design, sourcing materials, interiors, lighting, menus, signage, even the uniforms. Somewhere along the way, this project fundamentally changed what we do as a company.

Rebranding Shanghai

Your Checklist Before The Rebranding Leap

What is rebranding? There might be more options than you think…
Rebranding is not just about changing a logo. It covers all the possible ways to go about enhancing a brand experience. Actually, you may not need to change your logo, at all.
We talk about Brand Overhaul (or Revamp) when the entire brand gets updated: logo, story, collaterals, maybe even the name! On the other side, Brand Consolidation and Brand Extension are taking the existing brand assets (for instance, the logo, the name, aspects of your internal personality, etc.) and turning it into an integral, consistent and immersive brand experience. Your brand becomes a strong asset for your business, now and in the future.

The rise of the unspiritual Machines, chatgpt and midjourney

This week has undoubtedly been my heaviest usage of AI. Primarily chatGPT and MidJourney. I’ve written and illustrated children’s books. I’ve made 1980’s mail order catalogues, produced a gangster rap about getting a job in a bank, and have been given nightmares by combining Victorian dolls and fast food. Reading, researching and playing and I’ve come to a rather chilling conclusion.

Benjimints A Pitch From A Branding Agency To Clients 9def3d6a Bc42 40ec A52e 129aa82667d7

Let’s talk about Pitching!(Part 1)

Agency Pitching is one route clients take when selecting a partner. This is when a client shares the same creative brief with a select number of agencies, who then turn around to hash away at the problem and then pitch their idea or solution to them. Typically agencies don’t get paid for pitch work, but if they win they get the entire project (usually a decent size) or the retainer for a set number of years.
