Visual management and content creation for Aruki restaurant’s Instagram. The goal was to develop a “Premium Retail” communication style, blending the sophistication of Japanese cuisine with aggressive sales strategies for delivery and Happy Hour.
To stand out in a saturated niche (sushi), we created a high-impact visual standard focused on retaining attention (Scroll Stopper):
“Dark Mode” Aesthetic: The visual identity predominantly uses a black background to convey elegance and, crucially, to maximize contrast with the vivid colors of fresh salmon and ingredients.
Custom Typography: The use of stylized fonts with modern oriental strokes creates a unique personality. Large headlines (“SUSHI BOMB”, “URAMAKI”, “SEXTOU”) act as banners, communicating the offer in milliseconds.
Offer Calendar: The design supported a weekly commercial strategy. We created visual badges for each day:
Tuesday: Volume focus (“Sushi Bomb”).
Thursday: Aggressive hook price (R$ 1.50 per piece).
Friday/Weekend: Focus on combos and lifestyle (“Your Saturday is Japa”).
Graphic Elements: Dynamic orange lines and wave patterns (Seigaiha) connect the assets, creating a harmonious and energetic feed.
An appetizing feed that perfectly balances direct sales (Hard Sell) with brand building, increasing conversion rates on delivery apps.
