Tahina / Investor stage brand transformation / London, 2024 to ongoing

Tahina

Multi format brand assets for a tech enabled QSR seed raise, built in three weeks instead of the usual three months.

Brief

Tahina is a London based autonomous QSR concept led by founders with more than 25 years of operational leadership at EAT, Starbucks and global hospitality. Preparing for a seed fundraise, they needed a complete brand asset package, from investor video to packaging and retail visualisation, to support investor conversations, partnership outreach and consumer facing rollout.

The starting point was a logo, a brand kit and CGI assets for the store concept. Missing was every other touchpoint required to close a fundraise and prepare for market. The traditional path would have taken four vendors, a creative agency, a CGI studio, a product photographer and a retoucher, across ten to fourteen weeks. With investor meetings already in the pipeline, that was not viable.

What I built

Six touchpoints, one source.

  • 01

    Investor video

    Brand storytelling and operational vision, cut for the raise.

  • 02

    Packaging system

    Food packaging, retail bags and presentation formats.

  • 03

    Interior and exterior visualisation

    The store concept rendered for investor presentation.

  • 04

    Retail visualisation

    Product on shelf, in real retail context.

  • 05

    Social asset pack

    Video and image, multi format, ready to schedule.

  • 06

    Location visualisations

    The store concept across deployment scenarios.

The work

The brand, resolved across every format.
