Context and problems
Roberta’s Pizza was founded by artist and deejay Brandon Hoy in New York. It owes its success not to just only to good food but its ability to harness the spirit of the Arts Community in New York, which has been long grounded in street culture. Since its inception, the restaurant has expanded in various parts of the US and now in Asia, starting with Singapore.
Despite doing well financially, the sterile commercial environment of Singapore and its current location at Marina Bay Sands has obstructed Roberta’s Pizza from recreating its brand roots.
The original project deliverables find that Roberta’s Pizza is fast expanding its number of outlets in Singapore and other parts of Asia and aims to develop an arts community programme that can be integrated with the needs of its business and its brand origins. Their objective is to create and launch a community programme plan that can be launched at Roberta’s Pizza or offsite in the future, including a social media campaign.
However, with further development and research, the group discovered that in order to launch a successful community programme plan in the future, Roberta’s Pizza will need to engage, establish and ascertain itself within the Singapore Arts Community. Hence, primarily focusing on a social media campaign to increase brand awareness and develop a connection with the community will be the first phase of launching the community programme plan.

Project Methodologies
Meetings with Kenneth from Wasuka and Andi from Robeta’s Pizza
To understand the concerns, requirements and goals of two stakeholders and clarify any relevant questions and feedback from the project.
Site-Recce and Asset Review
To further understand the product and brand we represent and to uncover deeper insight into their assets and brand history.
Case Studies
The team researched and used several F&B social media platforms as case studies.
These case studies provided a foundation to understand how F&B outlets engage with their audience via their content on social media. Some accounts we used were:
- Roberta’s Pizza (US Branch)
- Wendy
- McDonald’s
- Pizza Hut
Creative Research Approach – Audience Segmentation
To create a relatable and believable social media persona, the group used Audience Segmentation to ensure better and increased communication and engagement with the Arts Community. With Audience Segmentation, we recognise the limitations and general traits of the target audience.
Utilising an MBTI Personality Test alongside Audience Segmentation will further enhance the complex personality to ensure that it is not one-dimensional. In turn, the traits may be translated into Chat GPT via prompts.
Project Research Insights
During our desk research, we found that the National Arts Council (NAC) describes the arts community in Singapore as Visual Arts, Performing Arts (Buskin, Dance, Music, Theatre, Traditional Arts) and Literary Arts. However, NAC overlooks to include those who participate as audience members and those who work behind the scenes, such as Producers, Crews, and Sponsors and Donors.
A way for the F&B Industry to engage with the arts community will be through the role of a Sponsor and Donor. In doing so, they can:
- Engage the community by providing a venue and space to showcase works and publicity for arts events
- Providing Financial Support or Catering Services for Events and Festival
- Monetary Support for the Arts by donations to arts organisations or setting up awards or scholarships
As a Producer and Curators
- Commissions to create pieces within their space for a limited run to allow their works to be seen
- Produced Programming that will allow programmes to be a part and asset to their business
Although our client’s original deliverables were to create an arts community programme, the group and industry partners concluded that such a programme would require work on their brand identity and value. Doing so will ensure that a Roberta’s Pizza produced programme will enhance and heighten its standing within the Singapore Arts Community. Furthermore, it will create value for an artist’s portfolio in the long run.
Hence, we focused on strengthening Roberta’s Pizza’s social media presence and recognition within the community by creating a social media persona as the first phase of this long-term project.
The persona creation, with the support of MBTI test results, will attract consumers by allowing it to have a set of human characteristics and personality associated with the brand which is similar to their own.
Project Vision and Expected Outcomes
Project Vision
Enhancing Roberta’s Pizza's social media presence will enable the company to reach out to the Arts Community by establishing itself as a hub for the community.
Expected Outcomes
Creating awareness and recognition with the community first will benefit Roberta’s as it will be easier for Roberta’s to launch a successful arts campaign community plan in the future.
Project Deliverables and Outputs
The group will deliver the following:
- Social Media Persona
- ChatGPT Prompts
- Content Categories
- Social Media Calender
The creation of a social media persona and utilising ChatGPT to create prompts, Roberta's Pizza may use this as a guideline that will ensure that any individual withing the company can easily produce content.
Creating content categories and a social media calendar will give Roberta’s Pizza a template to upkeep the social media accounts and to further and create continued engagement with the community.
