challenge
The United States imports 25 million bags of coffee annually, making it a prime market for Hacea's growth. But, the challenge presents itself as a market dominated by established brands that are top of mind with years of equity.
solution
As Hacea Coffee Source's strategic brand consultant from their inception, I helped build and manage a scalable brand identity that resonates with their target audience, sets them apart from the competition, and has maintained its integrity through three years of exponential growth. Hacea is now positioned as a trusted mentor to burgeoning industry professionals.
