Tully’s Coffee

Brand Repositioning Case Study for a Crowded Category

The State of the Brand:

Tully’s Coffee had spent its first twelve years trying to replicate Starbucks Coffee. After all of those years in business, the company lacked an ownable, differentiated brand identity.

How We Helped

By building and designing a new flagship store to feel like an extension of the home, we helped give Tully’s a distinct position in a very competitive landscape. In-store promotional campaigns and seasonal product and gift packaging extend the new Tully’s Coffee brand.

The Results

The new store design was well received. In-store promotion campaigns generated 8.4% lift.
“Lemley’s process revitalized our brand and allowed our executive team to buy into, and then lead the charge for Tully’s new brand identity. Lemley achieved what no one else has in the twelve years Tully’s has been in business: he helped us to create a differentiated brand, a unique vision, positioning and a growth strategy for new markets.”

Scope Of Work

We helped Tully’s create an audience centric cafe experience.
