X-UP CASE STUDY

The Next Coffee

Developed concept, created/formulated products, launched company, created identity, branding, advertising, web site, collateral. Designed and built retail store. Designed packaging.

THE CHALLENGE

In the decades since Starbucks opened its first location in Seattle, a lot has changed, but Starbucks (and their competitors) have remained the same. We saw a hole in the market and developed a clear and focused plan to fill it. Gunpowder launched as a tea business but quickly pivoted to guayusa, an herb from South America that has a lot to offer over coffee.
