Baker's Story

Why?

The idea is to give local bakeries a chance to stand out from multinational coffee house chains and in-store bakeries. This wonderful concept was created by Leipurin, a company with a history of helping bakeries thrive. The first Baker’s Story café – Baker’s Story Brander – opened in Tampere railway station November 14th 2019 and we got to be part of the journey almost from day one.

The challenge

How to stand out from multi-national coffee house chains? How to highlight each local artisan bakery and still keep the brand consistent? How to truly help local bakery businesses and convince them take part? These are the big questions we tackled together with Leipurin.

Where to begin? How to get from idea to concept, strategy to implementation? Our way is to get tangible results fast. We started with proof of concept, creating drafts and prototypes. With the practical solutions, also the top level issues clarified and focus on the right things became easier.

Brand prototyping and concept development

We helped the Leipurin team to formulate a valid brand proposal using prototypes from the start. Simulating user journeys, evaluating different ways of co-branding, drafting logos and concept names. This helped Leipurin to crystallize the brand and path forward.

Our work with Baker’s Story has included a wide range of projects: sales materials, key messaging, website design, photo shoots, social media marketing, all kinds of print materials from floor stickers to loyalty passes.

Internal documentation, loyalty card, price tags, stickers, print ads, outdoor advertising, copywriting, you name it, we did it – in collaboration with our wonderful peers.

Website, email marketing, social media channels, social media marketing, Google SEM & SEO, Google ads and naturally, content for these channels.
