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.
