Hudsons Coffee rebrand

Graphic Design - Corporate Identity and Branding

Finalist 
View and Vote

Hudsons Coffee had a problem. A new owner recognised massive potential in the business but customers were less than enthusiastic. Hoyne went straight to the source – coffee drinkers themselves – to discover what would make Hudsons a brand worthy of international expansion. Hudsons had grown from a flagship store on Elizabeth Street in 1998 to a national coffee store network. The new owner, Emirates Leisure Retail, planned to grow the store base from 50 to 250, ready for international expansion. To achieve this, repositioning and re-branding was required. For the past decade customer response to Hudsons had slipped substantially. Hoyne commissioned research to pinpoint why. The re-brand embraces the spirit of independent cafés, moving away from pedestrian aesthetics associated with chains. A new mindset around quality and perfection is expressed in the strap line: ‘A little love in every drop’. Prior to this project, customer approval ratings for Hudsons Coffee outlets was alarmingly low. Research post-launch of the new trial store showed a lift in approval rating to a staggering 98 percent. Store size and location remained the same, so the only contributing factor to the improved result was the re-branding and new store design.
