Brand Tone

Approachable and Inclusive, Fun and Entertaining, Encouraging and Supportive, Social and Communal, Local and Community-Oriented

Brand Values

• •Creativity for All: Belief that everyone can be creative and produce art, regardless of experience.
• •Experience and Memory Making: Focus on providing a memorable and enjoyable experience rather than just a product.
• •Community Engagement: Supporting local artists and participating in community events.
• •Accessibility: Making art creation easy, fun, and not intimidating.
• •Hospitality: Providing a welcoming space with drinks, food options, and helpful staff.

Best Practices

• •Always Emphasize Inclusivity: Use language that reassures potential customers that no prior art experience or "talent" is necessary. Phrases like "no experience needed," "beginner-friendly," "we guide you step-by-step," and "fun for all skill levels" should be staples.
• •Keep it Light, Fun, and Social: Inject humor and enthusiasm into your copy. Focus on the enjoyment, the social aspect, and the relaxed atmosphere. Use exclamation points appropriately to convey excitement.
• •Focus on the Experience, Not Just the Art: Highlight the memories created, the fun of the process, and the unique outing Studio Cellar offers. The painting is the souvenir of a great time.
• •Use Action-Oriented and Encouraging Language: Employ verbs that inspire action and creativity, like "discover," "unleash," "create," "explore," "sip," "socialize," "pour your art out."
• •Maintain a Consistent Local Feel (where applicable): When targeting specific locations (like Columbia, SC), incorporate local community references or a friendly, neighborly tone that reflects being a local business. Highlight involvement in local events when relevant.

Social Perception

Positive: Overwhelmingly seen as a fun, unique, and enjoyable place for a creative outing, date night, or group event. Supportive Environment: Customers appreciate the guidance for beginners and the non-judgmental atmosphere. Good Value: Considered an affordable option for entertainment and venue rental. Key Strengths: Friendly and accommodating staff, unique venue space (historic building mentioned), and the combination of art and social drinking. Concern (Situational): The 2022 news about needing to relocate and seeking investors might have created temporary uncertainty for its regular patrons, but the core positive perception of the service itself seems unaffected. The latest information from 2025 indicates they are still operating, offering pop-up classes and to-go kits, and "stay tuned for info regarding out relocation!"
