CASE STUDY

Having supported Deadly Rabbits Concepts from its modest beginnings as a 14-seat venue in Hong Kong, I've helped guide its transformation into one of the region's most dynamic restaurant groups. Their remarkable growth spans seven successful venues across Hong Kong, and they maintain an approachable personality that resonates well with their guests.

As they prepare for their first international expansion, I continue to provide strategic marketing guidance and digital innovation to ensure their unique concept translates effectively into new markets. This ongoing partnership focuses on maintaining its distinctive brand identity while adapting its successful formula for different cultural contexts and market demands.
