Campfire & Co.

Have you stopped by Quirk Hotel lately? If so, you may have noticed the newly redesigned Love & Happiness Coffee bar! Rachel Howlett, AIA and Lauren Stewart at Campfire & Co. worked with the Quirk team and Mercer Street to reimagine the hospitality station as a whimsical and flexible bar experience that truly reflects the Quirk brand. ✨ See more peeks of the design here: https://lnkd.in/e9w6kSX9 Construction by F&C Remodeling and signage fabrication by our buds at Wellcraft MFG.

Christina Kern, Tom Ellington, and I shared coffee with Eileen Mellon at Richmond magazine earlier this Spring and chatted about the impressive growth Cirrus Vodka has seen since their rebrand with Campfire & Co. nearly 5 years ago. (The length of my hair in the photo below is a visual timestamp from the original launch in 2020 😝 ). Cirrus' team has done such an incredible job of embracing the brand and living the brand personality, which has led to their current place as the #2 top selling Virginia-made spirit. This growth and brand awareness has contributed to more than just sales though, it has been a big catalyst for their growth into new products and now the new tasting room. Eileen captures their story of growth and details about the new tasting room in the latest issue of Richmond magazine. Thanks Eileen for the thoughtful storytelling and Tom for including us in Cirrus' journey!

Earlier this month the graphics team at Campfire & Co. took home two Silver Branding Awards from the Advertising Club of Richmond! 🏆 🏆 Orchard House Middle School and Ruff Canine Club were our two big winners.

Thanks Ad Club and bravo to the design teams - Vashaun Brandon, Lauren Stewart, EVERGIB [Rachel Scott Everett (Ever), Brian Gibson (Gib)], Christina Kern, and Chelsea Glowacki 👏 👏 👏

Finally able to share a sneak peek of the new Cirrus Vodka tasting room design! Christina Kern, Avery Fox, and Tom Ellington have been working hard for months to finalize every detail of the new experience. Nestled in the previous Blue Bee Cider space in Scott's Addition, the new Cirrus tasting room will be part of the Ballast Point development, anchored by Yellow Umbrella's new restaurant concept. Construction starting soon, opening planned for this summer! Learn more – https://lnkd.in/dPjCzycQ #interiordesign #distillerytastingroom #brandedinteriors

Loved seeing Emerald Lounge featured on travel and design magazine, WeHeart last week! James captured the inspiration and magic of the branded space perfectly, "...the tiki bar combines dark and moody aesthetics with mid-century Palm Springs vibes providing the perfect ambience to enjoy crafted cocktails made primarily from rum, agave and brandy. Emerald Lounge... provides Richmond’s revellers with an escape worth seeking out, the hip bar appealing to individuals, couples and groups looking for anything from a quick drink to start the evening, to a place to see out the night in style."

We spent the better part of the last year+ ideating, iterating, and building the best version of campfireandco.com yet. It was time for a refresh of our digital experience that better reflected the impact of branding and maturity of our company, all without losing that casual, adventurous spirit that Campfire & Co. has valued since day one. Take peek and see what we've been up! https://campfireandco.com/ Thanks to Stacy Buchanan for helping lead our initial strategic thinking that led to this project, Stephen Moegling for pushing us to celebrate our distinctiveness and write the best copy possible, and Alexis Courtney for capturing the spirit of our team in photos. cc Lauren Stewart, Christina Kern, Alex Cottles, Vashaun Brandon, Rachel Howlett, AIA, Avery Fox
