Brand campaign \\ guidelines We are reclaiming the spirit of Friday s. In order to achieve this, every piece of communication needs to portray an energizing ambience that allows our guests to believe that In Here, It s Always Friday. \\ They should introduce the new flavors and freshness of our menu. \\ They should highlight our heritage of creating trends in cocktails, beer, and wine. \\ And they should focus on our bartenders and team members as instigators who intuitively know what our guests have come in for and expertly create it for them. \\ Every brand communication should be inviting and upbeat. \\ Value messages should focus on all a guest gets for their money, not on how much (or little) they have. Above all, in everything that our guests see outside of Friday s, we should strive to capture the buzz of conversation, the beat of the music, the playful interaction between our team and our guests in short, the real vibe of Friday s.
