Cultivate is a design studio that builds hospitality brands from the ground up, shaping identities with clarity, craft, and purpose. We connect strategy and story to create brands that work hard, feel honest, and are designed to endure. Thoughtfully built. Made to endure.

How it works

Our aim is simple. To create hospitality brands that work hard at every touchpoint. We combine a rigorous hospitality brand strategy with a disciplined process and creative intuition to build experiences that feel considered, coherent, and enduring.

We design places people want to return to. Places they choose to book, stay longer in, and share with others. Destinations shaped around food, drink, art, and atmosphere, where time is well spent and moments are remembered. These are the experiences hospitality is built on, and the ones we help bring to life.

Why Cultivate

Great hospitality rarely happens by accident. The atmosphere, the flow, the details people remember long after they leave are the result of vision, craft, and sustained hard work. Branding is no different.

Cultivate was created to bring that same care and discipline to hospitality brands. Led by hands-on experience across hospitality, design, and brand building, we combine strategic thinking with considered creativity to shape brands that feel honest, work hard, and last. No shortcuts. No surface-level solutions. Just thoughtful branding built to endure.

Questions… answered

How does branding impact the long-term success of a hospitality business?

Great hospitality isn’t just about a logo; it’s about the “lived-in” experience. A well-crafted brand strategy acts as a roadmap for everything from interior touchpoints to service style. By building on a foundation of clarity and craft, we help businesses reduce “noise,” attract the right guests, and create a sense of place that encourages repeat visits and long-term loyalty.

What is the difference between a visual identity and a hospitality brand?

A visual identity is what people see—the colors, the type, the signage. A hospitality brand is what people feel. At Cultivate, we look beyond the surface to understand the flow of a space and the rhythm of service. Our work bridges the gap between digital presence and physical reality, ensuring the brand feels honest and coherent at every touchpoint.

When is the right time to engage a branding studio for a new opening?

Ideally, before the first brick is laid or the first menu is printed. Engaging us early allows the brand strategy to inform the physical environment. Whether you are “planting the first seeds” with our Snack Pack or seeking an All Out Feast, starting with brand clarity ensures that every design choice is purposeful and built to endure.

Do you work with international clients?

Yes. While Cultivate is based in the UK, we have work on the ground in the USA (specifically Nevada) and have partnered with founders in Hong Kong and Australia. We manage projects through structured digital collaboration and flexible scheduling to accommodate different time zones, ensuring a seamless creative partnership regardless of location.
