Turm Kaffee
BEHIND THE BEANS: BRINGING COFFEE TO LIFE WITH BRAND AND PRODUCT VIDEOS
#BrandBuilding #PublicRelations
TASK

The St. Gallen-based family business Turm Kaffee is the oldest coffee brand in Switzerland and celebrates the craft of roasting and preparing coffee at the highest level. Our task was to simultaneously position Turm Kaffee as the coffee expert with many years of tradition and know-how in the Swiss market, as well as to show that despite 250 years of family history, the company still has a flair for innovative trends. The aim was to address both B2C customers, who since 2018 have also been able to enjoy Turm Kaffee’s high-quality beans thanks to the founding of Turm E-Commerce, and B2B customers – with a focus on coffee as a world of enjoyment and experience.

SOLUTION

What is the best way to experience coffee? In the physical world, the answer is obvious: by smelling coffee, tasting it, trying it, engaging with the bean in your hands. But what about in the digital world? Our solution is moving images. Because with videos, the visual and auditory sensory channels are addressed at the same time – the quality and care in roasting the bean, the pleasure of tasting, the aesthetics when the coffee flows out of the filter holder into the cup – all this can be presented in a comprehensible and emotional way in just a few seconds. Videos are also portable and can be played on a wide range of digital channels. We have created a recognition value with the slogan and video player “Behind the Beans” that reflects the Turm Kaffee brand and its history.
