TAPPING
INTO PROFIT

Creating a Hoppier
Brand Strategy

As the craft beer industry surged toward mainstream popularity, SanTan Brewing Company found itself at a pivotal moment. Rooted in DIY, punk ethos and backed by a history of proprietary Southwestern-style ales, the brand’s decade of equity was quickly losing ground to competitors. As their long-term thought partner, TJA stepped in to evolve the brand without losing its edge. We gave their identity a strategic refresh, adding more attitude and impact to their iconic Phoenix logo and taking a holistic step back to understand the full scope of their business. From brand development and product design to strategy and consulting, our partnership focused not just on aesthetics, but on building a scalable foundation to expand sales, strengthen market position, and fuel
sustainable growth.

Brewing a Better Approach

Brewing a Better Approach

Known for its iconic logo, colorful cans and Chandler roots, SanTan Brewing Company’s portfolio lacked cohesion in a crowded local space. Although the brewery had strong product quality and brand goodwill, it was living in a “respected but not regularly chosen” middle ground that limited momentum. We unified the lineup with a modular packaging system for cans and tap handles, strengthening recognition and shelf impact while preserving the brand’s energy and edge. At the same time, we partnered with SanTan to realign its beer division and create a smarter path to growth. Through hands-on research, live taste testing and integrated strategy across social, PR, and digital channels, we turned insight into action. The result was a clear, data-backed roadmap that sharpened positioning, focused the target audience, strengthened brand recognition at shelf and established a measurable plan for long-term profitability.
