Our exponential thinking set Costa Express on a course to become world leaders in intelligent coffee. Rebranding as CostaX, we transformed all existing products into killer propositions under one single new technology platform.
Out with beans and machines, and in with a mission to answer the worlds unmet coffee needs and make mediocre coffee obsolete. We created a bold new identity for CostaX that combined iconic Costa assets with a sleek smart tech enabled brand.
Our CostaX Cloud was created to unlock the power of data and give the brand a competitive edge. We renamed their existing product suite plugging them into a simple new ecosystem with new propositions tailored to meet needs of new customers. Our thinking created a buzz across the business and gave the team the drive and tools to think beyond the ordinary and push the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of on-the-go coffee.
