GEORGIA RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION UNVEILS NEW BRAND IDENTITY IN PARTNERSHIP
WITH STREET STUDIO CREATIVE
Initiative Modernizes GRA’s Image, Amplifies Mission and Supports Growth for Hospitality Businesses Statewide
Atlanta, GA — The Georgia Restaurant Association (GRA) is proud to announce its rebrand initiative in partnership with Street Studio Creative. This strategic collaboration was designed to refresh and realign GRA’s brand identity with its mission—to be the trusted source where hospitality owners and operators gain a competitive edge to grow their businesses and strengthen the hospitality industry in Georgia. The goal of the rebrand was not only to modernize the association’s image but also to create a stronger, unified voice that reflects its expanding influence and value to members across the state.
GRA partnered with Street Studio, strategically and creatively, to guide the organization through a comprehensive rebranding process that uncovered its core strengths, amplified its mission and shaped a refined visual and verbal identity. The result is a bold, elevated brand presence that enhances visibility, strengthens member connection and reinforces GRA’s role as the definitive voice and resource for Georgia’s restaurant industry.
Street Studio Creative was selected as the agency of record due to its deep expertise in restaurant branding, event and promotional support, and creative strategy. With over 15 years of experience, the agency has built a strong reputation by partnering with some of the most prominent restaurant groups across Georgia, including Sedgwick Restaurant Group, LEAD Hospitality, Clean Plates Restaurant, among others.
“The GRA is dedicated to supporting Georgia’s restaurant community, and as we grow, it’s essential that our brand reflects our mission and impact,” said Stephanie Fischer, GRA President + CEO, “Street Studio Creative’s deep-rooted experience in the restaurant and hospitality sector made them the ideal partner to lead this initiative.”
As part of this partnership, Street Studio Creative offers exclusive incentives and branding support to GRA member restaurants, particularly those experiencing growth or preparing for expansion. With over 15 years of experience in the restaurant and hospitality industry, Street Studio is more than a creative firm—they work as strategic partners focused on defining each brand’s unique difference, elevating guest experiences, and building lasting brand awareness.
GRA members can expect a high-impact, collaborative process that brings clarity and consistency to their brand across every touchpoint—from logo and messaging to menus, websites, in-store signage, events, email marketing, and social media promotions. Street Studio understands the demands of running and scaling a successful restaurant and offers a dependable, ongoing support system tailored to the fast-moving pace of hospitality. Their work focuses on helping restaurants translate their culture, values, and culinary identity into a fully realized brand experience—online, in-store, and everywhere a guest engages with the brand.
In addition to these branding and marketing packages, Street Studio provides GRA members with preferred access to key business partnerships, including HR services, website hosting, advertising and media opportunities, and commercial real estate resources to support long-term growth. With a thoughtful and strategic approach, Street Studio empowers restaurants to not only stand out but also lead with purpose and impact in their market.
