launch

Craft spirit launched in 2015; retail rollout in 2018

Creating a consumer brand from the ground up.

The challenge

Sea Level needed to feel distinctive on shelf, effortless in a coastal setting and credible within a tightly regulated spirits category.

The approach

Keri and Greg Atchley shaped the brand holistically—from the chemistry of an oat-based vodka through bottle and stopper selection. Keri created the logo and complete brand identity, then engineered a direct-to-glass label system that met government requirements while preserving the bottle’s clarity and premium presence.
