KOBA & ZERITU 🍃 It is about how you build your brand. It is not about the name or naming fancy words. A Koba leaf is usually associated with Kitfo or traditional bread wrap (Defo Dabo). Who would have thought that it could be a name for a fancy cake pastry/restaurant? To attract upper class customers, you don't need to name your business "The Boss Cake" like the one around Atlas and god knows how many bosses eat cake they're cautious on their suger level...or CEOs coffee & Cake. or it's not the interior design sets you apart...It's up to you to brand the business. The experience you give your clients matters the most to set yourself high in the game. Who would have thought the name "Zeritu" is cool until she branded it with her mesmerizing voice and incredible album? Zeritu is an outdated name until she arrived on the scene and showed no shame but embraced it. It seems like shift is happening from the old naming styles like- The Newyork Cafe, Amsterdam restaurant, London Café, Jeneve Café, Purple, La-parisienne (London just come back recently) And Now, names like Dukamo, Koba, Akko, is trending. keeping it original 💯 👌 #Branding #Naming #Coffee #Ethiopia

Friends of mine will know that I enjoy a nice Gin and Soda. Recently my gin of choice has been Papa Salt. A more sophisticated drinker may tell you it’s because of the balanced botanicals, minerality, spice and subtle hints of things. I am not a sophisticated drinker. I like it because it tastes good and less importantly but still a big factor at least in my initial purchase - the bottle looks nice. A designer could no doubt talk about the minimalism, the clean understated look, the tapered design lending an air of refinement and how the embossed logo symbolizes the brands coastal inspiration. I am not a designer. I just think it looked nice. It’s fortunate that I know what it looks like otherwise I might well have missed it yesterday when I went to pick up bottle. The gin section in the store I shopped has been relayed recently. Good news for Papa Salt. It’s been moved from its lowly bottom shelf position to ideal central location mid fixture at eye level, from the basement to the penthouse! Or perhaps not…... What I found was that to fit in its prime position on a crowded shelf it’s one facing was turned sideways, it now takes up about two inches of space with not a single identifying feature on display. I’m going to guess its sales won’t improve in this store. It’s a reminder that execution is everything in retail. Good ranging, good position, great product and the best of intentions can all be undone if execution isn’t nailed. How is your brand showing up in retail? #retailexecution #DKSHSmollan #Crossmark #Salesteamproviders

In the mid-1990s, Sidney Frank – an American businessman with a knack for crafting luxury brands – wanted to introduce a new premium vodka to the market, at the time dominated by established Russian brands and Sweden's Absolut. Targeting the affluent and aspirational, Frank leveraged American consumers' intuitive association between luxury and French goods by partnering with Francois Thibault, a cellar master, to craft what he'd decided to call 'Grey Goose' using traditional French techniques – distilled in Picardy and bottled in Cognac. With taste and production sorted, Frank turned to branding. Wanting his bottle to convey French provenance, Frank's design featured frosted glass for a premium edge and a small flag to denote its country of origin; delicate netting circles the body to mimic the region's fine wines, as does a replaceable cork. The product was placed in Sex and The City – a pinnacle of late 90s New York lifestyle – as well as donated to multiple society charity galas. Business boomed, and by 2004, just seven years after launch, Grey Goose was sold to Bacardi for $2 billion. By hiking pricepoint (at launch Absolut sat around $17 for 750ml, Grey Goose went on shelves for $30), Frank created a self-fulfilling prophecy. Everything about vodka is perception. It's colourless, odourless, even tasteless in a way. Yet by building visual, psychological and social associations between the product and perceptions of luxury, Sidney Frank set a new standard for the spirit market. Whilst the likelihood of Grey Goose lining the cellars of collectors is slim, its origin lends itself to the importance of perceived value. Fine wine and rare spirits are an increasingly credible asset class, with a global market value in the billions. More than that, owning products of high calibre possesses an intoxicating quality unmatched by other kinds of capital — whether investors drink it or not.

Is your brand keeping up? A refresh doesn’t mean starting from scratch—especially when you've established a top-shelf reputation. With Angel's Envy, the foundation was already there—a bourbon crafted with care, known for its premium craftsmanship. For the “Worth the Envy” campaign, Sid Lee preserved what made the brand iconic, adding a simple pop of color and a new lens on where whiskey belongs. When you think 🥃, you think heritage, leather chairs, maybe a dimly lit library 📚. But what if whiskey belonged on the beach, in a trendy espresso-tini, or as the star of a poolside cocktail? By placing whiskey in unexpected spaces, we gave the legacy spirit a fresh, vibrant, and versatile twist. Pair that with easy-to-follow recipes, and suddenly, bourbon isn’t just for tradition—it’s for the moment.

Fine wine and vintage variation:- A deep dive into quality carftmanship to highlight the vintage!! Contrary to some beliefs, vintage variation is something to be celebrated in the production of fine and luxury wine, rather than a problem. This is because the vintage adds a note of uniqueness to the wine, enhancing its personality for that season. This viewpoint is well illustrated by a unique quote from Bernard de Villaine from DRC “ When we work in the vineyard, we go with the flow. If the year brings hail, frost, or sunshine, we accept and know this is what his supposed to happen for the vintage.” This is related to the viewpoint that each vintage is like a new child that has its own distinctive personality. It may be bright and cheerful, brimming with ripe fruit, or thin and restrained with silky elegance and earthy undertones. Regardless of what it chooses to be, this is embraced by vigneron, who assists inputs creation and growth. It also supports the premise that wine improves with age, and may go through a closed or dull period - perhaps acting out its teenage years. Obviously, vintage variation can have an impact on wine pricing. Some vintages will cost more and age longer, whereas others are designed to be consumed earlier. However, all of this plays into the fine wine dream - with consumers purchasing a special bottle or case to hold or resell. They may never actullay drink the wine, but owning it is a part of a dream. If they do consume the wine, consumers may save the empty bottle to remember the special occasion. The concept that every luxury product should have some type of flaw can also be related to vintage variation. The “flaw” aspect has to do with the thought that master carpet weavers often deliberately create a small flaw in their carpet design to prove that it was not made by a machine. In this way, variation in wine vintage also shows that wine is not made to an exacting recipe, but exhibits complexity and a unique style. Mother Nature is the artist of vintage variation and her weather whims illustrate authenticity in the wine. One of the most important aspects of vintage variation is the potential need to declassify or reduce the production if the wine quality is not high enough. For example, in 2002, the Antinoris made the decision not to make Tignanello that year because they didn’t think the grape quality was high enough. At DRC in the 2013 vintage, the vines were decimated by bad weather and the crop was reduced by half. Very meticulous hand- sorting of grapes was conducted, reducing production even more, so that they were only able to produce thirteen barrels of Romanée-Conti. This willingness to sacrifice commercial motives to focus on quality is one of the most important aspects of fine wines, and also supports authenticity and respect for terroir regarding vintage variation. #Vintagevariationandfinewines #winemaking #DRC #Tignanello #Finewines #Wineducator #Opentowork
