Combo is a new, original culinary spot at Electricians Street next to the legendary Gdańsk Shipyard in Poland, which cuisine is influenced by street food from various parts of the world. Since the menu is such a colourful mix with an undefined culinary profile (after all, the harbour is a multicultural centre), it was essential to make the brand’s communication clear and welcoming.

Once a thriving factory and the economic pride of Pomerania, in time it lost its significance as fewer ships were constructed there. Today the post-industrial premises are undergoing a second youth as a cultural centre, reincarnating into a place of joy, good music and even better food.
Since the only way Combo communicates with clients is through its place and social media, we had to use every available means to enhance the brand’s message. There was not one thing in the Combo experience that was not marked by its black and white branding. The result: the place is one of the most recognisable in the area, people love it, and it directly translates into sales.
