Overview
Our main goal was to develop a comprehensive brand strategy for Lotta Cannabis, a cannabis farm in Humboldt County, California. This exceptional brand is uniquely committed to producing premium-quality cannabis grown indoors. Emphasizing artisanal processes, each product undergoes meticulous hand-trimming to ensure unparalleled purity and potency.
Lotta Cannabis aimed to redefine market standards by offering premium-grade cannabis at a medium price point. The brand's philosophy is centered on the belief that superior cannabis should be available to everyone, not just a specific group of consumers.
Creating Lotta Cannabis's visual and value identity was crucial in our strategy. Our objective was to make Lotta Cannabis stand out in a saturated market by offering a product that is not only top-quality and effective but also aligns with consumers' lifestyles and values.
