OVERVIEW

Established in 1842, Tanners is a multi-award-winning wine merchant offering a selection of the finest wines to both private customers and large restaurant groups. Aware that they needed to keep their brand relevant, they wanted to update their look and marketing to appeal to a modern audience.

BRAND IDEA

The aim was to strike a contemporary tone with a timeless feel, respecting the brand’s heritage while creating a relevant and engaging identity. Starting with their logo, colour palette and typesetting, we then worked with them to update their vast range of existing literature in line with their new guidelines.

BRAND IDEA

From wine menus and brochures to tri-fold leaflets, we brought this brand to life by consolidating their existing literature into one cohesive identity. Their brand is now much more solid and their new wine club leaflets have successfully helped increase membership.
