What Sets High-Proof Creative Apart From Other Distillery Marketing & Design Agencies?

I am often asked, “What sets High-Proof Creative apart from other spirits marketing agencies?” Hold on tight; this one is going to be enthralling! Seriously, though, I have a bias, but I think we’ve got something good going on here for three reasons. There are plenty of packaging design agencies out there, but there are fewer that specialize in distillery marketing and design.

Our background and knowledge in distilling.

After spending nearly 10 years writing hundreds of articles about the craft beverage industry, and writing the first-ever guidebook to distilling in Portland, I launched High-Proof Creative. While many industry-specific agencies have learned the nuances of distilling/beverage after many years in business — we’ve brought it to the table from the start. I don’t hire people to join the High-Proof Creative time unless they have a background in beverage.

I’ve seen what it takes to get a distillery off the ground, and we’ve documented experiences of what it’s like to be a woman in distilling. With our proven background in distilling and beverage, I hope to provide a level of service the industry can’t get elsewhere.

Over the years, I have also observed the pain points and struggles the industry faces. That’s why it’s so important to me that High-Proof Creative not only provides creative services and websites but also develops software and digital applications to help the industry grow. We launched Small-Batch Maps in 2020, and we plan to launch more applications and websites in the future.

We’re a woman-owned business & promote women.

They saw fewer than 2% of distilleries are owned by women. I would go as far to guess that there are even fewer service and equipment providers owned by women in the distilling industry. Years ago and before working in this industry, I probably would have never described my company as “woman-owned,” but with time I’ve realized how much my visibility helps other women grow, and succeed. Through our Women in Distilling initiative, we have been promoting women and marginalized folks for years.

We’re actually full-service.
