French Truck Coffee
Objective
French Truck Coffee had strong regional loyalty but limited national awareness and struggled to compete with convenience-focused brands like Starbucks.
Research
Market trends showed growing demand for specialty coffee, but also increasing consumer expectations for convenience, digital ordering, and brand storytelling.
Key Insights
- Coffee is viewed as a lifestyle and identity, not just a product
- Consumers value authenticity, sustainability, and experience
- Gen Z is price-sensitive but highly influenced by social media culture
The Big Idea
“Slow Down, Savor More” – reposition coffee as a meaningful daily ritual rather than a rushed transaction.
Creative Solution
- Lifestyle-driven social media content (TikTok, Instagram)
- In-store experience enhancements focused on ambiance and ritual
- Seasonal product drops tied to storytelling
- Influencer partnerships highlighting slow, intentional living
My Role
Creative Director – led concept development, campaign theme, and overall brand storytelling direction.
