Studio/Selected Work/O.W at The Grand

O.W at The Grand Hotel Leicester.

Creative direction, social media, influencer management and paid campaigns for a refined restaurant and bar inside one of Leicester’s most iconic hotels.

The Brief

A digital presence with the feeling of a place.

O.W needed a social and campaign presence that reflected the atmosphere of the restaurant: elegant, warm, classic and quietly memorable. The brief was to make the venue feel desirable for afternoon tea, cocktails, dining, celebrations and hotel moments, while supporting bookings, awareness and seasonal campaigns across the year. We took on the whole picture: creative direction, social, influencers, paid and the campaigns that tie them together.

Social Media

A feed that feels considered, not constant

The social direction was built around content pillars and a planned grid, so O.W feels present between visits without ever feeling loud. Reels, stories and posts, published in one consistent voice.

Every post earns its place. The feed is planned as a whole, not post by post, so it reads like the room: warm, classic and unmistakably O.W.

Creative Direction

One story at a time

Creative direction is how a place comes to life beyond its four walls. The same room, the same serve, the same light, styled by a single hand until it reads less like a menu and more like a mood.

Seen together, the frames become something the brand can own: a recognisable bank of imagery, consistent in tone, that people know at a glance and want to be part of.

Paid Ads

Every occasion, a reason to book

Paid campaigns supported the moments that matter: afternoon tea, seasonal events and everyday food and beverage awareness, with creative and copy shaped for each.

Targeting and traffic journeys were built around booking intent, driving visibility on Meta and clicks straight through to OpenTable.
