TATE & GUILE
Tate Galleries
One of the key revenue earners for Tate Galleries is catering for visitors, the profits of which help to fund the organisation. Working within the brand guidelines, we developed a Tate Catering sub-brand, redesigning all the catering graphics, from menus and wine lists to placemats, coffee cups and even advertisements.
The scheme extends to each of the four galleries nationally — positioning restaurants, cafés, bars, kiosks and members' rooms according to their clientele. The idea is to create a 'window' on the art — something each gallery holds as unique. Since its launch, footfall has increased to over a million visitors a month — catering made more profitable by developing a distinctive sub-brand which emphasises the uniqueness of the parent brand.
