When the Michigan-based roaster wanted a new package design, we saw a chance to do something much bigger–create a new brand. With its bold, attention-getting personality, Joe became an instant hit, quickly earning a spot as the best seller in our client’s history. This “little” project made Paramount a big believer in the power of design and branding. Joe has since spun off into its own family of brands, paving the way for additional lines to expand Paramount’s portfolio.
Joe Coffee
This hugely popular brand of Paramount Coffee was created with powerful typography and a healthy dose of humor...two unexpected qualities that created a paradigm shift on the coffee shelves and helped Paramount leap from a regional roaster to a player on the national level.
