Gooseneck Coffee Co. is a specialty coffee roaster based outside of Detroit. Having seen steady growth over a few years, the Gooseneck team was ready to take the next step.

Through Backtalk, I was tapped to lead a marketing strategy for their next phase of growth.

Marketing Strategy

Already having a brand identity & multiple years of sales, Gooseneck needed a roadmap to effectively scale its marketing efforts.

I created a well-rounded strategy across the below areas. The result: a 31-page marketing strategy deck.

Strategy included:

  • Retail Strategy: retail sales plan, event strategy, digital retail sales strategy, email strategy, customer loyalty program, and multi-channel community partnerships plan.

  • Wholesale Strategy: wholesale customer discovery and wholesale sales strategy.

  • Social Media Strategy: tailored strategies for Instagram, Facebook, + TikTok, influencer marketing campaigns, and social overviews.

Some strategy highlights below:

Product Rollout Strategy

Gooseneck was preparing to release its first canned coffee beverage when I took on the project. Incorporated into the strategy was a product rollout strategy for the canned beverage.

Product Rollout included:

  • Website rollout plan

  • Social rollout campaign + plan

  • Email rollout campaign + plan

  • Retail product placement strategy

Customer Loyalty Program

Gooseneck was looking for a guaranteed way to create buzz around their brand. I created a customer loyalty program from scratch to include in their website, messaging, social, and more.

Loyalty Program included:

  • Program branding + messaging

  • Succinct program point scale + reward tiers

  • Ways to earn points, program promotion tactics, + incremental brand opportunities within loyalty
