James Clay & SonsThe Challenge
Craft beer distributor James Clay was proud of its heritage; not just as a company that stayed true to its family-company roots, but as one of the driving forces behind the explosion of craft beer. But when it was time for a new generation to take the helm, their identity needed a similar generation refresh.

The Idea
Having worked with the marketing team at James Clay for a number of years, they asked us to deliver a rebrand that would more closely reflect their core values. This was to be orientated around a name change to ‘James Clay & Sons’ – in line with the leadership of the company being passed down from founder Ian Clay, to son James.
