Vermilion Pinstripes - Sales Marketing Communications

When a successful concept expands into new markets, the challenge isn’t simply getting the name out there.

It’s making sure people understand why the brand matters.

Chef Tomoharu Shono’s MENSHO is a fascinating example. As his ramen philosophy travels from Japan to cities around the world, each location needs to carry the DNA of MENSHO while creating relevance and excitement for its local market.

That’s where franchise marketing becomes powerful.

At Vermilion Pinstripes, we help brands translate their founding philosophy, craftsmanship and competitive difference into local stories, experiences and marketing that build demand — without diluting what made the original successful.

For MENSHO in Australia, that means going Beyond the Bowl: introducing audiences not only to exceptional ramen, but to Chef Shono’s relentless pursuit of excellence and the thinking behind every detail.

Because successful expansion isn’t about creating copies.

It’s about making the original idea matter somewhere new.

Looking to grow a franchise or bring an international brand into a new market? Vermilion Pinstripes can help you build the marketing engine behind the expansion.

From Michelin Guide recognition to creating unique menus for Sydney, Chef Tomoharu Shono is transforming the way Australians experience ramen. Discover the philosophy, craftsmanship and relentless pursuit of excellence behind Mensho Tokyo.

Where Dessert Became an Experience. 🍑✨

We had the pleasure of attending the exclusive event for the KOI Peachy Hero Cake, where beautiful desserts, elegant fragrances, and inspiring storytelling came together in one unforgettable collaboration.

Created by KOI Dessert Bar in partnership with Bath & Body Works' Vera Bradley Collection, the Peachy Hero Cake captures the delicate notes of peach and orange blossom in a limited-edition dessert that's every bit as beautiful as it is delicious.

At Vermilion Pinstripes, we love seeing brands create experiences that people genuinely want to photograph, share, and talk about. That's what modern marketing is all about—bringing together creativity, emotion, and memorable moments that live far beyond the event itself.

The KOI Peachy Hero Cake is available from 17–31 July at KOI Chippendale, KOI Ryde and KOI Melbourne, while creations last.

Congratulations to everyone involved in creating such a beautifully curated collaboration.

Big Ideas Begin With Better Conversations.

Recently, Veronica Lind had the privilege of learning alongside Andrew Morello—challenging assumptions, refining strategy, and exploring what modern business growth really looks like.

The experience reinforced why we're so passionate about our Modern Growth Engine.

Today's businesses don't need more marketing.

They need connected thinking.

A system where strategy, AI, customer experience, sales, and marketing all work together to create real momentum.

We're excited about what's ahead—not just for Vermilion Pinstripes, but for every business ready to embrace a more modern way to grow.

Where Dessert Meets Couture. 🍑🌸

Some collaborations are simply beautiful.

Others become unforgettable.

This July, KOI Dessert Bar and Bath & Body Works' Vera Bradley Collection have come together to create a limited-edition experience celebrating the beauty of peach and orange blossom through both pastry and fragrance.

Introducing the KOI Peachy Hero Cake — a sculptural dessert inspired by the Vera Bradley Collection, crafted to blur the line between dessert and art. Available for just two weeks, each creation is made in limited numbers across KOI boutiques.

If you're looking for a dessert that's as elegant as it is delicious, don't wait too long.

📍 Available 17–31 July at KOI Chippendale, KOI Ryde and KOI Melbourne, while creations last.

At Vermilion Pinstripes, we love celebrating brands that create experiences people genuinely want to share.

Influencer Marketing Is About More Than Followers. It's About Creating Moments People Want to Share. 🍜📸

Launching a new restaurant takes more than great food. It takes excitement, anticipation, and conversations that inspire people to say, "We have to try this!"

That's why Vermilion Pinstripes loves working with creators who genuinely connect with their communities.

It was fantastic catching up with renowned food influencer Adrian Widjy and Josh as we prepare for the opening of Mensho Ramen VicX in North Sydney. Their passion for discovering and sharing exceptional food experiences helps introduce exciting new venues to thousands of people who trust their recommendations.

👍 DM us if you are keen to participate!

The best influencer marketing isn't about advertising.

It's about authentic experiences.
Real reactions.
Meaningful storytelling.
And creating the kind of buzz that turns curiosity into queues.

That's modern marketing in action.

Stay tuned… there's plenty more delicious content to come from Mensho Ramen VicX.

From 1 July, new anti-scam SMS protections will be introduced across Australia to help consumers identify legitimate business messages and reduce SMS fraud.

If your business sends branded SMS messages to remind customers of appointments or other notifications, using a Sender ID (for example, your business name instead of a mobile number), you will need to register your Sender ID. Unregistered Sender IDs may display as "Unverified" on customers' phones, which could reduce trust and message engagement.

What you need to do:

1. Review any SMS Sender IDs your business currently uses.
2. Register your Sender ID through the Australian SMS Sender ID Registry.
3. Complete the verification process before 1 July to avoid disruptions.

For more information and registration details, visit: https://www.acma.gov.au/sms-sender-id-register

If you use a third-party SMS provider, we recommend contacting them directly to confirm whether any action is required on your account.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Kind regards,
The Vermilion Pinstripes Team
