01
The Villain
Norse Table had been pitched, packaged, and re-pitched into oblivion by previous agencies. The brand was technically beautiful and emotionally dead — nobody could remember why it existed.
02
The Weapon
We stripped it back. Found the founders' original obsession — long communal meals — and rebuilt the entire brand system around that one idea. Tablecloth-and-candlelight photography. Long-form captions about a single dish. No discount codes, ever.
03
The Victory
Reservations filled three weeks out within the season. Brand stopped competing on price and started attracting press coverage on its own.
