kohler food & wine

 
 

In its twenty-second year, Kohler Food & Wine was ready for a complete revamp.

This is a robust, culinary-focused event that takes place in Kohler Village. It’s full of intimate dinners, chef demos, wine pairings, and boisterous parties. And the creative did not evoke that at all.

We needed elevated content quickly, to refresh this event as a whole and carry it into the future.

So how did we accomplish a creative overhaul?

2. WEAVED consistent threads THROUGHOUT

From printed collateral to the culinary stages themselves, a gradient was brought in for a cohesive look.

 

3. TAPPED INTO THE SENSES

 

4. PHOTOGRAPHED WITH A “LESS IS MORE” MINDSET

 

5. SOCIAL-FORWARD THINKING

 
 

6. TURNED MOODBOARDS INTO REALITY
