Takumi, The Lurline Bay Group, Bali: Brand launch by Mirsa Ratina

The brief

Launch a Japanese fine dining (kaiseki) restaurant in a city full of casual sushi, and make it feel worth the price.

What I did

Built the brand from mood board to logo: the brush calligraphy identity, menus, vouchers and business cards. Wrote and managed the website, ran social, ads and influencers, and directed the photo and video shoots. Did the market research, marketing plan and press releases, hosted exclusive client and media evenings, and created partnerships such as Saké Night with Api Jiwa, pairing the chef's omakase with saké from Hakkaisan, Kurosawa and Oimatsu.

My role

Marketing & PR Manager and creative director, leading a designer, content creator, social media manager and photographer. Delivered the brand guidelines, marketing guidelines and press kit.

Result

Fully booked most nights in its first 5 months, with sold-out dinner events.

Posts, posters, menus, merchandise and brand pieces from the brands I've run.

Luxury hospitality, from the brand to the guest.

I'm a hospitality marketing manager based in Barcelona, with nine years across luxury resorts, restaurants and private villas in Bali, including NIHI Sumba, Condé Nast Traveler's #1 resort. I work across the whole journey, from brand and content to paid ads, OTA set-up and guest experience, and I run my own copper atelier, Tembaga Kayu.

People bring me their problems because I go to the root, not the symptom.

I learn fast and I'm curious about everything, especially AI, which runs half my workflow. When I'm not working, I'm with horses or somewhere quiet in nature.

Mirsa Ratina
How I lead When I lead a team, I learn what every person does, so if something breaks at midnight, I can step in. Not as well as they would, but well enough that the guest never knows.
