Challenge

Since the legalization of cannabis, there has been a surge of new brands and business structures, such as wholesale distributors. Soultonix’s brand needed to stand out as a wholesale distributor while aligning internally with employees and externally with customers.

goal

Create an intentional brand that better communicates who they are – from their wholesale partners down to the end user.

approach

Showcase the grounded, yet uplifting feel of the brand in both strategy and visuals. Bring to life the adaptable, healing nature of the brand with a new butterfly logo paired with a warm and vibrant color palette that feels light and airy.

Brand Launch

Hardy facilitated a multi-phase brand launch that considered everything from employee-owner training to the ‘why pay more’ signs. The first step was to train all leadership staff on the new strategy. By providing consistent language, their leadership team has the tools to communicate the brand to all employee-owners and customers, utilize it in hiring, and lean on it for business decisions. To support the high level of service T&C is known for, we created talking points, rack cards, and tools that empower employee-owners to answer questions customers may have.

Packaging

The Bridger Brewing team wanted to be prepared to can and distribute its beer after opening its second location. AMS partnered with Bridger Brewing for packaging design concepts. The first step in the packaging process involved a strategy session in which the unique identity of each beer was explored and dissected. Several concepts were then sketched out. Once a concept was selected for each beer, custom illustrations were created for cans and boxes. The result is a full lineup of beers, each with its own design that is unique while still clearly a member of the Bridger Brewing brand.
