# About

## Fast Casual Restaurant Group

2018

CAVA needed effective video and design to drive the largest, sustained growth in their history.

# Background

Dreamt up in 2006, CAVA began as a full-service restaurant concept in Rockville, Maryland.

By 2018, they had evolved into a fast casual restaurant group with over 200 locations across the United States. CAVA had two audiences to target: guests grabbing lunch in the four walls of their restaurants, and customers snagging a dip or spread off the shelf of their local grocery store.

Creating campaigns that truly spoke to these groups meant market research + analysis, identifying key influencers, and working with stakeholders to bring their vision to life. Oh, and we had to show results too, of course.

# Video

Video was at the heart of both campaigns, bringing the narratives to life through story. Each video was aligned with a different noteworthy character: some influencers, some organic farming revolutionaries. It was a blast to tell their stories – and break pita with them.


# Design

Impactful design was the backbone of CAVA’s messaging, from social and email to the messaging within their four walls. I partnered with our designers to to tell a cohesive across each medium, including video.
