Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Reigniting franchisee confidence through clearer brand communication
Context
A global lifestyle brand strengthening franchisee engagement
The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (CBTL) is an international lifestyle brand known for its premium coffee and tea experiences. With franchisees operating across multiple regions, clear and consistent communications from headquarters are critical to maintaining brand alignment and long-term confidence in the brand.
Challenges
Turning information overload into clear, inspiring communication
As CBTL prepared to re-engage its franchisees globally, the team needed a partnership deck that would showcase upcoming developments, share strategic direction, and reinforce support for franchise partners.
The existing partnership deck was content-rich, but overly detailed, with important updates about products, innovation, and franchisee support buried within dense slides.
How we helped
Distilling CBTL’s core messages that mattered most
We began by working closely with CBTL’s key stakeholders to identify the critical messages they wanted to convey to franchisees. Rather than attempting to present every detail, we focused on resolving franchisee concerns, demonstrating growth, and inspiring confidence in a collaborative future with CBTL.
Franchisee Narrative Playbook: We developed a structured presentation framework that logically sequenced the story for franchisees, making it easier for leadership to guide audiences through the brand’s direction.
Global Conference Deck: With the success of the initial playbook, we extended the same messaging framework and design approach to their global franchisee conference, ensuring consistency across touchpoints and reinforcing global stakeholder confidence.
Elevated Visuals: We refreshed the visual design to align more closely with CBTL’s identity as a premium lifestyle brand, focusing on meaningful visuals, cleaner layouts and cinematic, high-quality imagery.
Results
Stronger franchisee engagement and clearer global alignment
The refreshed partnership deck and conference presentations turned information-heavy updates into structured, inspiring storytelling that set the foundation for long-term partnerships between CBTL and its global franchisee network.
Clearer articulation of strategic direction and brand evolution
Visually cohesive presentation aligned with CBTL’s lifestyle positioning
Structured, scalable framework applied to both outreach decks and global conference materials
