Ideas Collide created a suite of marketing assets to help Z’Tejas launch its new brand and developed a marketing strategy to leverage the new look and reinvigorate their business.
Branded social media graphics and posts helped to engage a strong following of legacy concept advocates and provided a platform for customer feedback and promotional announcements.
IC developed and launched a customized website to showcase Z’Tejas’s unique twists on Southwestern cuisine and cocktails. Additionally, the website was instrumental as a resource for guests to view menus, location details, blog articles and events, just to name a new.
The videos, animations and motion graphics Ideas Collide created for Z’Tejas helped to reintroduce the brand story, increasing brand awareness and engagement.
After three decades of serving bold and flavorful Southwestern-inspired cuisine with a twist, Z’Tejas partnered with Ideas Collide to reimagine their unique brand. This rebranding effort included an entirely new logo, identity, standards and corresponding style guide, all while showing that the restaurant’s exceptional customer dining experience wasn’t going anywhere.
To help the launch of the new brand, our team developed the Spirit of Z campaign. Highlighting the authentic, local experience of the restaurant, Spirit of Z represented the core essence of what makes Z’Tejas so unique and beloved since their start in 1979.
