"Silks Restaurant, Mandarin Oriental, SF"


Marketing Parameters/ Creative Solution

The primary objective was to build awareness and name recognition of Silks, an upscale restaurant with a "quiet" ambiance. Amidst the volatile bustle of San Francisco's countless award-winning restaurants, we chose to focus on the sensual aspects of silk, leveraging the name equity and "quiet" perception as a positive, by conjuring visions of elite power deals taking place with a whisper.
