Kahawa 1893
Content Creation at a Harris Teeter Store for a Coffee Brand (Southeast)

When you film branded content, how do you make it feel fun, authentic, and still aligned with the brand’s vibe?
When I film branded content, I focus on integrating the product naturally into my everyday routines or storytelling moments—whether it's a morning reset, "Get Ready With Me," or a college-to-grad school transition vlog. I use voiceovers or conversational captions to keep the tone casual and relatable, while staying intentional with lighting, music, and editing to match the brand’s aesthetic. I also take time to understand the brand’s mission and values so I can highlight them authentically within the content. My goal is to make viewers feel like they're getting a trusted recommendation from a friend, not watching an ad.

How would you approach creating engaging shots for Kahawa 1893?
To create engaging shots for Kahawa 1893, I’d focus on visually storytelling the brand’s unique blend of heritage, quality, and daily ritual. I'd take a warm, lifestyle-driven approach, showcasing the coffee in beautifully lit morning settings—think sunlight pouring through a window, steam rising from a mug, and close-ups of the rich texture of the brew. I’d incorporate intentional, cozy scenes like a “slow morning” sequence with soft music or voiceover, incorporating elements like journaling, reading, or setting up my workspace with Kahawa 1893 as the centerpiece. I'd also highlight the packaging and pour through aesthetically-pleasing transitions, paired with audio that enhances the sensory experience (coffee pouring, spoon stirring, etc.). To tie in the brand’s African roots and female-led story, I would creatively layer in messaging or subtle nods to empowerment and culture—whether through captions, music choices, or a brief voiceover shoutout. The goal is to blend beauty, authenticity, and narrative, while ensuring the product remains the visual and emotional anchor.
