When the owner of Kopi Marzu first approached Naikreatif, they faced a critical crossroads that many F&B entrepreneurs encounter: how do you stand out in an oversaturated coffee market?
Originally from Palembang, South Sumatra, the business owner was torn between two names: Kopi Marzu or Kedai Komar. This confusion wasn’t just about naming, it reflected a deeper challenge of brand clarity and market positioning.
Located on Jalan Antasari in Cipete Selatan, South Jakarta, the coffee shop had ambition but lacked the professional foundation to scale. The owner had a vision to open multiple branches, but without a proper brand identity, that dream seemed distant.
The Three Critical Problems:
1. Name Confusion – Unclear brand naming strategy affecting discoverability on Instagram, Google Business, and GrabFood and GoFood
2. No Brand Identity – An outdated logo that was already being used by competitors
3. Undefined Positioning – No clear unique selling proposition in a crowded market
Yunus Halim the CEO and Founder from Naikreatif immediately identified the core issue: brand clarity drives customer discovery. His recommendation was simple but strategic: “If you’re selling coffee, name it Kopi Marzu. Let Kedai Komar be the management entity.”
This decision had immediate SEO and marketing benefits:
✅ Clear product identification for search engines
✅ Consistent naming across Instagram (@kedai_komar), Google Business, and GrabFood
✅ Memorable brand recall for customers
⚡Result: Customers could now easily find the business across all digital platforms without confusion.
In a market flooded with black coffee options, Naikreatif knew that differentiation wasn’t optional; it was survival.
Through deep discovery conversations, Yunus uncovered the owner’s authentic story:
– Personal journey learning coffee cultivation from plantations
– Hands-on experience growing coffee plants
– Unique coffee blending expertise developed over years
This wasn’t just another coffee shop; this was artisanal craftsmanship with roots in Sumatra’s coffee heritage.
The Positioning Breakthrough: “Racikan Kopi Sumsel Rasa Menetap”
(South Sumatra Coffee Blend with Lingering Taste)
This positioning captured three powerful elements:
1. Regional authenticity – Sumatra coffee heritage
2. Craftsmanship – “Racikan” (hand-blended formulation)
3. Sensory experience – “Rasa Menetap” (lingering taste that creates craving)
4. Unlike typical coffee that offers fleeting aroma and flavor, Kopi Marzu’s taste lingers, creating a memorable experience that brings customers back.
With clear positioning established, Naikreatif created two comprehensive brand identity concepts for the owner to choose from.
The selected design wasn’t just a logo—it was a complete brand identity system that included:
💡Primary logo design
💡Color palette reflecting Sumatra’s rich coffee culture
💡Typography system
💡Brand applications for signage, packaging, and marketing materials
