Impact

Black-white-brown coffee brands and frog-green recycling companies? Well, innovation looks different! Unlike Plastic2Beans who, in addition to selling top-quality direct trade coffee, are also successfully developing scalable solutions for a plastic recycling circuit in Ethiopia. And so it was only fitting that, together with the coffee junkies, we brought a vibrant brand to the shops that knocks your socks off like a double shot of espresso in the morning. Add some strategic brand consulting and fresh product design, and the competition looks pretty decaffeinated.

Together with DIO, we have managed to position our brand strongly within the food and beverage market. The branding and product design are super cool and were the deciding door opener for investors and the successful listing in retail. The critical view from the outside and the impulses have always helped us a lot as a start-up!
