Transform your ordinary coffee into something extraordinary

Project: Functional Creamers product launch
Our main competitor had a strong hold on the functional creamer category, and we wanted to disrupt their dominance and steal market share. Our challenge was to educate New to Brand consumers on how to use them, what the benefits are, and how they align with customer care-abouts.
These products aligned with the overall business goal of cross the chasm between early adopters and early majority, with products that fit into mainstream Americans' daily routine.
My role: Product positioning & messaging, omnichannel brand consistency
I created the launch deck to guide internal and agency teams on creative direction for: Photography, Emails, SMS, Landing Pages, Paid media, 3P product pages, Amazon A+ content, and Amazon Brand Page. It was my responsibility to ensure brand consistency across all our selling and marketing channels.
The big challenge of managing separate teams across multiple channels is achieving cohesion while allowing freedom to create channel-appropriate assets. But with a multi-step review and approval process, I was able to set firm guidance on brand integrity up front with a handful of assets, so the teams could have a northstar to follow when building out the full set of assets. Then I would do periodic check-ins or review "big" set pieces as needed and provide specific feedback.
