Challenge
Hoop Tea is a hard tea brand that was started by two friends on the boardwalk of Ocean City, Maryland. It had become a north eastern favorite. ABi took notice and acquired the company - they came to us to help them fortify it to do battle with one of the most dominant brands on the shelf: Twisted Tea.
Insight
The founders quit their jobs for a better quality of life on the boardwalk and Hoop Tea was just the manifestation of that.
Solution
We tucked into the 70s vibe of Ocean City and turned that feeling into a Visual Identity System that was anchored by a signature element.
Results
Fastest growing hard tea brand on the market.
