Meno x Clifford Chance: Coffee Cart Brand Activation at UH & UT
Some activations just click — great coffee, great conversations, and a brand experience people remember.
This fall, international law firm Clifford Chance partnered with our mobile coffee cart to connect with future lawyers at the University of Houston and University of Texas at Austin. Their goal was simple: stand out during recruiting season by creating a warm, welcoming space where students could grab a handcrafted drink and learn more about the firm.
And what better way to draw a crowd than the aroma of freshly pulled espresso?
A Brand on Display
For this multi-city activation, we brought Clifford Chance’s identity to life with a custom-branded coffee cart and a matching awning, ensuring their logo was front and center at every pour. From cold brew and matcha to classic lattes, every drink was made to order and served in a space that perfectly reflected their brand — professional, approachable, and polished.
Coffee Fosters Conversation
At both universities, the coffee cart quickly became a hub of activity. Students lined up between classes for a caffeine break, but stayed to chat about internships, firm culture, and what it means to practice law with purpose. It was exactly the kind of vibe Clifford Chance was looking for — genuine connections forming over a cup of coffee.
Why It Worked
Corporate activations like this one remind us that coffee isn’t just a beverage — it’s a bridge. By pairing great coffee with thoughtful branding, Clifford Chance created an experience students won’t forget. Whether it was a mocha latte in Houston or an iced caramel apple matcha in Austin, each drink became part of a larger story about connection and opportunity.
