White Castle In China
Creative Brand Challenge

For White Castle’s China market entry, Thread Design took on the role of both branding agency and design consultant, helping to translate a beloved American brand into a new cultural context. We refreshed the corporate identity and corporate design while crafting custom logo signs tailored to local retail environments. The final brand guidelines PDF and brand book example provided White Castle’s China team with the tools to maintain brand consistency across future store launches and marketing channels.

White Castle’s identity is very traditional, but we are attracting a very young audience in China.  Sliders are still a new concept in China; our customers are often confused when ordering.

How might we better communicate our slider concept to our young, Gen-Z customer using messaging and a visual language that connects with them specifically?

我们怎样才能更好地向年轻消费者传达我们的小食概念呢?

We took a look at the user journey, needs and behaviours when interacting with the brand, to understand what it was about White Castle that was attractive to them.

我们通过消费者与品牌互动时的体验、需求以及行为来吸引他们了解白城堡

The Result? A new position for a concept store.

HELLO we’re the BOLD alternative. We are an American mini burger concept that makes people happy with a large variety of satisfying sliders. Delivered with our relaxed friendly free laid back environment and service.
