Revel Stoke offers a wide range of flavored whiskies, providing an alternative to the connoisseurship and snobbery of the whisky category. While its spiced and flavored whiskies had experienced some success in the past, the flavor-focused brand did not provide the energy and personality needed to meaningfully connect with the right consumers.
The new expression shifts focus from flavor to bold energy, inviting adventurous drinkers to explore social risk and live life on their own terms. Fueled by an unapologetic personality, Revel Stoke is a call to celebrate good times, with whiskies that let you run wild and drink free.

Bacio makes food approachable, feeding customers’ desire to experience, discover and learn. But, when faced with restrictions on serving capacity due to Covid, the management team of this Twin Cities restaurant felt the need to create new ways to serve customers, including curbside delivery, to-go meals and cocktails, and the purchase of a food truck (the largest in the state). Now mobile, the restaurant has a new way to diversify its menu and expand its customer base across the metro area. With an inviting name, and truck design that’s as tasty the food it serves, Bacio can serve any location or event with a custom offering.

A brand with roots in the North, Caribou Coffee has been “Fueling Adventure Since 1992”, so it only made sense that the brief to redesign the brand’s signature packaging looked to its heritage for inspiration. Creating a “sense of place” not only offered a truer connection to its provenance but also created a proprietary expression to unify the brand’s portfolio. An illustrative interpretation of the North leans heavily on Caribou’s distinctive blue color. The result is a strongly-branded expression that’s premium, with a playful personality.
