Woodrow’s BBQ - Brand Development and Content Marketing

Brand Identity / Visual Design / Website Design/ Digital Marketing

Woodrow’s BBQ is a charming local restaurant selling USDA prime beef, smoked meats, delicious sandwiches, and sides.

My goal was to create a quality and cohesive brand experience for Woodrow’s across their website and social media accounts. Then craft marketing material to showcase the warmth, comfort, and mouthwatering food the small business had to offer.

The challenge

Establish a cohesive brand identity for Woodrow’s BBQ while redesigning the brand’s Squarespace website and refreshing its digital marketing presence.

Solutions

I created a brand and social media guide for Woodrow’s, creating a Milanote board for easy collaboration and content management. The established brand guidelines created ease when crafting cohesive marketing material.

Social Media Feed

I took new photos capturing the food, community, and atmosphere of Woodrow’s. My goal with Woodrow’s social media was to reduce the use of colors not associated with the brand while creating a cohesive color palette using red, brown, and orange tones. I then focused on elevating the quality of the photos and crafting text posts with increased readability and visual consistency.
