Project Background
Xibei Restaurant, a Chinese catering brand focusing on healthy and delicious crusine made of coarse grains, has won a good reputation with expanded business after years’ of development. However, it fails to leave customers with a unified and clear impression, not to mention becoming a preferred catering option for the general public. Therefore, Xibei Restaurant hopes to create a fresh brand image as its strategic foundation, so that it can grow into an authentic brand and also a famous one listed in customers’ catering options.
Solutions
1, Create brand characters and unique images of its own genre
This case, based on Xibei’s enterprise vision and product concept, has a profound insight into the overall situation of the era and develops the brand manifesto #I Want to Be Rustic #. It gives the over-exquisite era and city dwellers kidnapped by an aesthetic appreciation of exquisiteness vent to feelings and psychological resonance. In addition, it has also created extremely differentiated personalities for the brand, having a unique place in people’s heart concerning the image of North-Western cuisine and their catering options.
2, dynamic oil painting coupled with the “rustic” manifesto breaks through the predicament of brand-building
We pioneered the Html5 interactive manner of dynamic oil painting in implementation, using thick-line oil painting to echo the “rustic” concept and using artistic and animated narration to elaborate the “rustic manifesto”. In this way, advertising manifesto into which brand concept is condensed is dissolved into the common wishes for the brand, conforming to the public’s aesthetic pleasure. Thus, it is of higher communicability and topicality for our brand to break through the predicament.
