Young bicultural consumers wanted more from their coffee.

Family-owned Cuban coffee brand Café La Llave wanted to reach a new generation. We conducted market research and micro-segmentation to find the right audience: bicultural, health-conscious Hispanic youth with roots in both Latino and American cultures, looking for a coffee that fits their identity and fuels their day.

Connect heritage with a new generation’s identity.

We positioned Café La Llave as the coffee of choice for a confident young generation proud of their Hispanic identity. We developed the creative platform through audience research, a photo and video shoot, and a multi-channel campaign spanning print, digital, and social. Influencer partnerships extended the reach, connecting bold flavors with bold identities.
