Melbourne specialty coffee roaster dc Coffee has expanded its retail footprint with exclusive, national ranging in Woolworths, alongside the launch of its new Fuel Your Creativity 600g range.

Founded in 2004, dc Coffee established itself through the wholesale channel, supplying more than 200 cafes nationally by 2016. The move into Woolworths marks a significant step in the brand’s retail growth, bringing its distinctive blends and artist-led packaging to supermarket shoppers across Australia.

The new 600g range extends dc Coffee’s existing portfolio into a larger format, reinforcing the brand’s position as an accessible specialty coffee offering within the grocery channel.

Supporting the retail rollout is a refreshed brand strategy and identity system built under the platform Fuel Your Creativity.

“The platform reframes coffee as a stimulant that isn’t just there to be enjoyed, but to be used to your advantage – celebrating the people who use it to switch on, make things happen and see the world in their own way,” said dc Coffee.

The platform comes to life through dc Coffee’s first integrated brand campaign, created in partnership with independent creative agency Hellions, rolling out nationally across BVOD, YouTube, out-of-home, paid and organic social, eCommerce and email.

dc Coffee CEO Trevor Simmons says: “dc is the most exciting, engaging coffee brand out there. This campaign embodies the irreverent, post-specialty attitude that makes dc unique. Awesome coffee, distinct packaging and incredible value, dc Coffee is all about fuel and energy.

“Demonstrating the world ON dc gives us a clear way to express what has always made dc different: it celebrates the people who use coffee to switch on, make things happen and see the world in their own way.”

The refreshed identity expands dc Coffee’s existing artist led packaging into a broader brand universe spanning typography, illustration, colour, photography and motion – all designed to increase shelf impact and strengthen brand recognition, while maintaining the individual character of its core blends.

The launch reflects dc Coffee’s long-term investment in the grocery channel, with the refreshed branding and new product format designed to support continued retail growth.
