Machado Honduran Coffee

Honduran Specialty Coffee - I’t more than coffee

Challenge

The initial challenge was the choice of the brand name. The original name suggested did not resonate well with the target audience: it was difficult to pronounce and lacked appeal. This underscored the need for a strategy that not only embraced the essence of the brand but was also easily embraced and remembered by Honduran consumers.

Solution

To overcome these obstacles, we organized a brand validation workshop and a comprehensive marketing workshop. Through these, it was identified that the founder's last name, "Machado," offered a personal and familiar connection missing from the original name. This led us to adopt "Machado Honduran Coffee" as the new brand name, a change that embodied simplicity and memorability. Additionally, we conducted a branding workshop to design the brand's visual identity, culminating in the creation of two distinct proposals that led to various patterns and a complete brand book with the brand's specifications.

Result

The result was a complete transformation of Machado Honduran Coffee, reflected in a printable service catalog, brand elements such as email signature, invoice design, letterhead, business cards, and promotional materials for events. Moreover, we prepared a series of initial social media posts, establishing a solid foundation for their online presence. The brand now enjoys a renewed identity that not only captures the essence of its legacy but also positions it firmly in the minds of its consumers.
