RICHIE'S NAIJA KITCHEN - ABOUT THE BRAND
The Problem
The Richie's Naija Kitchen had a clear mission: to promote Nigerian cuisine throughout the USA in various towns and cities. However, they struggled with how to begin and how to accomplish their goal.
- A poorly defined brand identity that failed to convey their unique vision and foster trust within the community.
- Visual Inconsistencies across platforms, lack of a logo system, absence of brand guidelines, and no recognizable look or tone.
- Low engagement on social media stems from generic posts and a lack of storytelling about vendors, products, and culture.
- Struggling to attract online customers as a food vendor due to a lack of brand clarity and confidence.
- The lack of a website made the platform seem unprofessional and disconnected in today’s digital landscape.
