Sojourn Coffee Company, a regional coffee roaster and retailer, needed a refreshed identity and digital presence to better showcase its products, support wholesale relationships, and connect with customers.

CASE STUDY
Brewing a Stronger Brand for Sojourn Coffee Company
INTRODUCTION
INDUSTRY:
Specialty Coffee / Consumer Goods
CHALLENGE:
Creating a Unified Brand Identity and Website for Retail and Wholesale Growth
SOLUTION:
Logo & Packaging Design, Website Redesign, Ecommerce Integration, Content Strategy
OBJECTIVES
Sojourn Coffee Company set out to elevate its brand across every touchpoint, from packaging on the shelf to its online presence. The goal was to create a modern identity that reflected the company’s craft and personality, design packaging that would stand out and stay consistent across products, and build a website that served both retail customers and wholesale partners. At the same time, the new platform needed to highlight Sojourn’s story, expand community connections, and support the company’s growth into new markets.
REBRANDING AND VISUAL OVERHAUL:
Along with designing a refreshed logo and packaging system, we collaborated closely with Sojourn’s printer to ensure the new coffee labels met all technical requirements. This included working to precise printer specifications and incorporating the necessary FDA guidelines for food labeling. The result was packaging that not only looked elevated and consistent across the product line but also met compliance standards, giving Sojourn the confidence to scale its retail presence with a professional, ready-for-market identity.
WEBSITE AND DIGITAL STRATEGY RECOMMENDATIONS:
We built a modern, user-friendly website designed to serve both retail customers and wholesale partners. The site included a clean e-commerce shop for direct purchases, a dedicated wholesale portal with forms and account access, and clear navigation that made it simple for users to find what they needed. To ensure a seamless customer experience, the website was integrated with Sojourn’s in-store POS system, enabling real-time inventory accuracy across both physical and digital sales channels. Beyond functionality, the site also showcased Sojourn’s brand story, locations, and career opportunities, creating a digital hub that reflected the company’s personality while supporting growth across multiple audiences.
RESULTS
Enhanced Brand Presence:
The refreshed logo, packaging system, and professional website established Sojourn as a modern, growth-minded coffee company with stronger recognition both online and on shelves.
Seamless Customer Experience:
Retail customers gained an easy, reliable way to shop online with real-time inventory accuracy, while wholesale partners received a dedicated portal to access resources and place requests.
Stronger Community Engagement:
The new platform highlighted Sojourn’s story, locations, and career opportunities, creating more ways for customers, partners, and employees to connect with the brand.
CONCLUSION
Boldthink’s partnership with Sojourn Coffee Company created more than a new website. It brewed a full brand refresh. With a modern identity system, updated packaging, and a user-friendly e-commerce platform, Sojourn is better positioned to grow in both retail and wholesale markets while connecting deeply with its community.
