Kamora

Kamora crafts this rich coffee liqueur to honor ancient Mayan tradition. Made with authentic Mexican coffee, the product had a loyal following, but lacked energy and a strong presence on shelf. We were tasked with invigorating the brand to challenge category convention and reposition it with younger consumers. We responded by creating a new, high-energy expression designed to compete with its main competitor, Kahlúa.

When Element Materials Technology acquired NTS Technical Systems, Cue was asked to create an identity to transition the company from NTS to Element U.S. Space & Defense.

Inspired by both innovation and empathy, Palette Life Sciences sees things differently. Utilizing proven technologies in novel applications, Palette is able to create inventive solutions that elevate patient care.

Leroux is a storied brand with more than a century of history. Crafted to celebrate extraordinary flavor, Leroux offers a wide variety of products making it a perfect accompaniment to every occasion and adventure.

Our charge was to strengthen Leroux’s brand expression and reputation for innovative products.

With a rich history spanning more than 100 years, five generations and hundreds of SKUS, the Phillips flagship brand presides over a broad range of innovative spirits. This redesign gives the brand portfolio a fresh look while retaining the likeability the brand enjoys as a “Midwest favorite.”

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.
