Prefecture 48

Prefecture 48 is Australia's premier Japanese dining precinct in the heart of Sydney's CBD. Six distinct venues unified by culture, history, and culinary excellence. Garaku Kaiseki, Ibushi Robata Grill, Omakase, Five Modern European, Dear Florence Patisserie, and Whisky Thief Bar.

We worked directly with Prefecture 48's team as a true extension of their internal marketing effort. Our role was to understand the culture, history, art, leadership, and craft behind each venue, then communicate that authentically through content strategy, creation, and distribution.

We didn't just launch one restaurant. We launched six distinct experiences, with six distinct stories, at the same time. We helped drive their online presence from zero to 10,000 organic followers pre launch, with zero paid advertising, and supported the complete sell out of all venue reservations for multiple weeks.

Understanding the Story

Photography & Video Production

We conducted extensive photo and video shoots across all six venues. We captured the architecture, the craftsmanship of each chef's vision, the menus, the spaces, and the people behind each experience. Every asset was created to communicate the true essence of Prefecture 48. Culture, history, artistry, and culinary excellence.
