Contest Brand Stories
Coffee
Name: Eos
The alarm might go off at 5:00 a.m., but the day doesn't start until the French press offers up that nutty cup of morning fuel. From the first sip, the discerning coffee drinker (24-40, HOI: $75k+) knows that no matter what the day holds, she's ready for it now.

Even better, she knows that she can face the world in good conscience: grown organically, distributed via fair trade and in packaging meant to reduce its carbon footprint. Eos represents the sensibilities of an enlightened, modern international food company – even its name (the Greek goddess of dawn) suggests a new beginning. With a nod to simple design elements and exotic roasts, the brand stands out for its flavor, not for fancy packaging.

Featured in several of your favorite cafés around town, Eos is sold in the organic section of many fine grocery retailers.

Wine & Spirits
Name: Mòment

And many of these memories are built around that most communal of places — the dining table, where the food, the fellowship and a great bottle of wine come together. This wine brand is not about selling bottles, it is about being part of the moment. It is about producing a wine (price $32) distinguished by subtle notes and earthy tones that don’t overtake the conversation, but move it along. It is the perfect choice of the wine enthusiast—eager to order a bottle for the table—who does not fancy himself a wine expert.

The brand stands apart on the shelf for the elegance and shape of its label. It is a label that hints at the tasting experience it will deliver and the memories it will be a part of. The label respects and protects the very earth that nurtures the grapes…that become the wine…that becomes the moment.
