Carmel
Setting the craftcannabis benchmark
Rare Breeds, Limited Grow™
Carmel is a craft cannabis brand backed by OG growers from the black market. They select and breed only the most covetable seeds, like copping a pair of rare NIKEs. It’s quality or nothing.
Rare Breeds, Limited Grow™ became the strategy that established their distinct difference. Carmel’s hand-picking and trimming process is seen in the details of the visual identity, mostly through the custom font designed by our team. The signature color reinforces brand recognition.
The main challenge was to develop a commercially strong brand identity for the main street that is also true to their authentic roots, resonating with both legacy users and newcomers alike. Since working together, Carmel steadily remains one of the top selling, beloved brands in Canada.

“Customers tell us they were waiting for a brand like ours to come to market, and how much it resonates with them. Wedge approached the mandate with the right combination of thoughtfulness and strategy that made it a home run for the whole team. They went deep in understanding the context for both Carmel, and the position we sought to occupy.”
