Thomas Hammer

Thomas Hammer, a local coffee roaster, has ten shops in the inland northwest area. We have one in our business school on campus and I often treat myself to an iced mocha when I have class in the building. My other favorite treats are the white chocolate covered espresso beans and the OMG Bar (a peanut butter bar with a chocolate layer on top). Yum! 

While the coffee alone is amazing, the marketing is just as good! They use funny statements that capture the brand's personality well.

I laughed out loud the first time I saw this coffee mug! I like the play on words.

Another funny mug.

Other Thomas Hammer lines I like are, "Helps Straight Think You" and "You Won't Regret This In The Morning."

The creativity of the marketing makes me like the brand even more than I already do!

print ad for marketing class

I've been so busy this week! I liked my outfit today but don't have time to snap a pic...(I'm wearing a gold braided belt and jeans with a tucked in blue tank and white cardigan. I'll probably wear it again...)

This morning my group for marketing class went outside to take photos for a "print ad" for our project. The finished ad is above! Our brand is Chevrolet (who is celebrating their 100th anniversary this year), so we did a "then and now" type of photo. I'm on the left and suppoed to be dressed like Audrey Hepburn/have an Old Hollywood feel. One of our other group members is on the right in a typical All-American baseball fan outfit. I'm taking an actual advertising class in the spring, so who knows if I'll think this is a well-done ad by then, but for now I think it's good. :)
