WHEN GUESTS EAT AT

Blacklock

We want them to feel like they’ve stepped into a British chophouse, unpretentious, honest, familiar and above else, open to all.

We took reference from the past - when things were done properly - so the identity feels ‘of another time’, even if you can’t put your finger on when. From hand-chiselled typography and photography that feels like it’s been shot on film,  to a hallmark seal for each restaurant. Every detail has been carefully crafted, even if it’s done the long way.

WHAT WE DID:

  • BRAND STRATEGY & POSITIONING
  • VISUAL IDENTITY
  • PHOTOGRAPHY & FILM DIRECTION
  • WEBSITE
  • COPYWRITING & TONE OF VOICE
  • PACKAGING
  • LAUNCH CAMPAIGN
  • EMPLOYEE BRANDING

“Working with &Smith is always a treat. They have a great eye for detail and consistently deliver great work. We’ve been working together for the past five years, during which they’ve refreshed our branding and, most recently, aced a series of campaigns to launch Blacklock in Manchester — bringing our vision to life while perfectly capturing the brand’s look and feel.”
