5 Stones Coffee Co.

5 Stones Coffee Co is a local coffee shop with three locations in the Greater Seattle Area (Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland). 5 Stones Coffee Co is committed to serving the best coffee and food, and create a space for community. Their 5 core values are: Excellence. Stewardship. Relationships. Hospitality. Generosity.

What began as a design contract for their new menu led to us taking over all of the content creation and social media management. Our goal was to create a competitive and cohesive online presence across all channels and increase their brand awareness to increase sales for their shops, retail coffee and goods, and events. 

During this partnership, Akiha assisted 5 Stones Coffee Co with a full digital transformation and have significantly increased their online presence through reach and engagement by over 300%. Their social accounts have seen thousands of new followers, and their community is very engaged with their content. We have multiple reels go viral and this has added to the success of their three storefronts. Our work has landed us collaborations with Topo Chico for two years in a row, and 2024, for International Coffee Day, Topo Chico hosted a party at 5 Stones Kirkland location. 

Challenges we overcame: 

The budget for creative is limited so we have had to be creative and have used the staff for many of our shoots and content pieces. This has led to a more engaged and connected staff that enjoys being creative and likes being apart of the growing accounts we manage for 5 Stones Coffee Co. Many of them feel proud of it and like they are a part of it. It’s truly special.
