Heemelrijck

Heemelrijck is a family-run restaurant serving Dutch specialties since 1949. For their branding, we looked to two things: the restaurant’s rich history and its name. The antique, typically Dutch interiors gave us a visual world to work with, while “heemel” (the Dutch word for heaven) gave us something more poetic to build on.

The result is anything but dusty. Bold colours, cherubs, ornate detailing, a visual identity that honours the heritage while feeling very much alive. Timeless, but with attitude.

Full concept development for brands starting from scratch, no name, no narrative, sometimes just a location and an instinct. We build the full universe: naming, positioning, story, design, and a strategic foundation to grow on. Online and offline, working closely with you from the ground up.

Digital concept development for brands that already know who they are but need to translate that online. We map out tone, content strategy, and how the brand shows up across social and digital touchpoints, rooted in what’s authentic, built to reach the right people.

PR and partnerships give your brand its claim to relevance, making sure it lives in the right conversations, at the right time and place. We handle press outreach, media relationships, influencer collaborations, and B2B/B2C partnerships, all integrated into the brand strategy from the start. We also develop and produce brand events, from one-off launches to recurring, owned formats. Flexible by design: standalone, project-based, or retainer. We track everything, so the work stays accountable.

Not every brand needs the same kind of strategy. For some, it’s social media strategy, sharpening how they show up and connect online. For others, it’s brand or business strategy, the bigger questions about positioning, direction, and growth. We don’t assume which one you need. We figure that out together, then build a plan that actually fits, instead of a generic one that sounds good on paper.

A strong brand identity means nothing without the visuals to back it up. We provide creative direction across photography, video, copywriting, and campaigns, making sure everything looks, feels, and sounds like the brand it’s supposed to be. From concept to production, we handle design, styling, casting, and all the details in between. Nothing is left to chance.

Brand identity is where concept becomes visual – a logo, typography, colour, design language, and everything needed to make the brand recognisable wherever it shows up. We create flexible visual systems that are unique and pleasing to the eye and built to work in practice. We deliver full brand guidelines, asset libraries, and templates so the identity can live and grow consistently over time.
