Deliverables

Brand voice, packaging copy, campaign lines

Most coffee brands describe the beans. daybreak describes the morning. It’s a self-initiated brand voice for the snoozers, the slow starters and the first-sip philosophers: the people actually holding the cup.

01 / Our part

Brand voice, naming & packaging copy

What landed on our desk:

Brand voice guide & tone pillars

Blend naming for three coffees

Front-of-pack & side-panel copy

Campaign lines & social bios

Café menu board copy

02 / The snag

Speciality coffee packaging reads like a wine list: notes of stone fruit, perfectly roasted, ethically sourced. All true. All identical. daybreak needed a personality you could spot from across the supermarket aisle, half asleep.

03 / The big idea

We started with the person, not the product. The voice is warm, a little sleepy and quietly witty, built around slow starts and second alarms. Blend names, front-of-pack lines and side panels all talk about the ritual, not the roast.

The usual

Premium coffee. Perfectly roasted.

The Texty take

For the love of five more minutes.

04 / The happy ending

A voice guide, three named blends with full packaging copy and a campaign line with legs: for the love of five more minutes. Familiar enough to trust at 7am, funny enough to remember by 9.
