Chilled Authenticity

Cold coffee products take on retro aesthetics for caffeine connoisseurs

Implications - Coffee brands are addressing a growing preference for emerging cold brew blends with a noticeably retro aesthetic. This form of packaging and design suits a consumer interest in authenticity. Referencing decades prior satisfies this desire, especially when paired with in-demand themes such as transparency and wellness.
Workshop Question - How could your brand integrate elements of nostalgia to better convey a sense of authenticity?

3. Premium Packaging Design - Cold brew coffee products are packaging their products in premium, high-end designs to create a brand differentiation and drive home the concentrated nature of the product.
Industry Implications
1. Beverage Manufacturing - Companies can explore retro packaging designs and premium branding opportunities to promote cold coffee products and leverage authenticity to differentiate their brand.
2. Entertainment Industry - Celebrity collaborations in the form of clever marketing promotions that offer an entertaining and engaging twist on brand and product awareness can be explored to bring novelty and differentiate products.
3. Graphic Design - Companies can employ custom designs to stand out from competition, building unique packaging designs that play on classic designs or premium aesthetics to drive home the concentrated nature of the product.
