Building an authentic brand for a revolutionary Irish gastropub and microbrewery in Austin, Texas
Cork & Barrel had little more than a name, a rough idea of a logo and a parcel of land under development when they asked Get Creative, the USA Today creative agency to help develop their brand. We raised our glasses to an extensive brand workshop that defined everything from their persona to marketing best practices.
