The Clockwork Rose
The Clockwork Rose is a cocktail bar with a fictional twist. Bristol’s first and only bar with a steampunk (historical science fiction) theme, The Clockwork Rose offers customers the chance to immerse themselves in a fantastical world, with the story of Captain Commodore running through the bar’s decor, product names and branding.
What did they need?
The Clockwork Rose team was gearing up for their opening night. They needed a website to draw in customers by celebrating what made them unique: their steampunk story.
How did we respond?
We ran a stylised photo-shoot for the website, capturing images that evoke a mood of mystery and adventure, and using historical-style props to weave in the steampunk theme. Objects like an aged Australian newspaper, binoculars and a pistol helped tell the story of Captain Commodore’s voyages in search of tinctures and potions for the cocktails.
After a year of successful trading, The Clockwork Rose also commissioned us to create an engaging theatrical trailer video to celebrate their first anniversary.
We are now about to kick off our second round of work with them on a social media strategy.
