The Pint / Urban Sparq Hospitality
I worked in the bar/hospitality industry for 10+ years designing campaigns and marketing strategies for various events and over 20 properties (bars, restaurants, pubs, pubcrawl companies, etc) spanning across Canada. I designed the logos and branding for the properties and all of the marketing materials as well; including websites, menus, business cards, posters, flyers, tickets and more.
The Pint was the biggest project while working with that group of companies, spanning 7 locations in 6 cities across Canada. Did all of the concept design, marketing and branding across the board...including helping decide what type of ketchup bottles to have on the tables! Also got to do some architectural design including exterior signage, interior ceiling designs, and deck/patio/construction drafting. The original Pint location (downtown Edmonton) even retired my jersey, hanging it in the rafters (on the wall) there when I left!
Properties included The Pint, Vinyl Retro Lounge, Hyde Whiskey Bar, The Bank, The Public House, Oil City Roadhouse, Knoxville's, Denizen, Thrift Shop, Crash Hotel, Beercade, The Old Strathcona Rack...and more...
Not-So-Fun Fact: I lost pretty much everything I ever did for them in an unfortunate combined computer-backup hard drive incident. Sad times.
