Popmenu Rebrand

Brief: Like many startups, the organization had outgrown its original brand from 2016. New products, partnerships, and audiences drove the need for an updated brand that showed the impact the company was making in the restaurant technology space. Piecemealed and outdated visuals and brand messaging across departments, combined with an expanded direction in platform features, created an urgent need for an update.

A collaboration with the marketing team, including growth, creative, product, communications, and partner marketing, as well as the UX team, to lead a rebrand throughout the first half of 2023.
