Jeremiah Johnson — Changed the name. Changed the trajectory

A global brand entrusted us with a unique challenge: crafting an internal tool to share its brand story with every employee, from sales to product development. This wasn’t just about information – it was about forging a unified company culture. Peace of mind included. In-depth product information and clear visuals ensure you’ll find the ideal fit.

Task

Building an internal tool of this scale is no small feat, but with the right approach, it can be a powerful force for uniting a company. Meaning: a single cross platform that help people embrace the new identity system through play and interaction.

Design Outcome

Designed around the name people already remembered.

Research showed that Mountain Man carried more recognition than The Front. Renaming the brewery Jeremiah Johnson gave that equity a memorable home, connecting the owner’s name with the brand’s Montana character.

White cans and large, legible type created a clear shelf presence. The familiar Mountain Man character evolved into a broader illustrated world, while “Same beer, Better name” helped existing customers follow the change.

Recognition
Gold Medal, Yellow Line Design Awards — Mountain Man Scotch Ale packaging.

Changed the trajectory.

THE BRIEF: Rebrand The Front Brewing Company and launch a new product line with a stronger presence at retail.

THE TASK: Replace a name people struggled to remember, preserve the recognition of Mountain Man, and build a brand that could grow beyond Montana.

THE RESULT: A new name, a distinctive white-can packaging system and a coordinated launch gave the brewery a clearer platform for growth. The company reported a 180% increase in revenue and placement in more than 200 grocery and market stores following the launch.
