We also want to thank our customers for their trust and support so far until we have once again succeeded in winning the 2023 World Branding Award.

Innovation, Rebranding Supported by JIWA+ Application

Founded in May 2018 with around 900 outlets, Janji Jiwa continues to innovate from product to marketing. It is important for the Janji Jiwa brand to continue to innovate with new product offerings, including presenting non-coffee drinks and non-dairy alternatives.

Coinciding with the same year as receiving this year's World Branding Awards, Janji Jiwa also celebrated its 5th anniversary and made a change to the brand. For example, by presenting a new logo rebranding and a new outlet concept that prioritizes offline experience with a more exciting outlet design. Janji Jiwa’s new concept will focus on improving the offline experience by redesigning the customer journey, starting by streamlining the product ordering process (via self-service kiosks), simplifying order pickups (using a restaurant paging system), and elevating the overall enjoyment of the products (through innovations in packaging and menu selection). Apart from improving service quality through rebranding and menu innovation, Janji Jiwa also continues to optimize the use of the JIWA+ application to support the "grab & go" model which has been a specialty of Kopi Janji Jiwa since the beginning.

Besides that, Janji Jiwa has also successfully carried out co-branding collaborations with interesting big brands, popular events, and collaborations with popular figures and platforms that are suitable. For example, with various Food & Beverage (F&B) brands including Sasa, Teh Botol Sosro, OATSIDE, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), Sage Footwear and there are many others. Most recently, Janji Jiwa collaborated with the Indonesian series entitled “Kretek Girl” which is the Latest Indonesian Original Series on Netflix by releasing 6 new menu variants with coffee and non-coffee choices whose ingredients are inspired by spices.

This has proven that Janji Jiwa consistently provides extraordinary innovations across all segments and all age category. After winning this title for the second time in a row, Janji Jiwa is committed to achieving its vision of bringing positive change to win consumer loyalty by prioritizing customer satisfaction.
