San Francisco Bay Coffee Taps Cutwater as Creative and Media Agency of Record | LBBOnline
Gourmet, ethically-sourced coffee brand San Francisco Bay Coffee – which is owned by the Rogers Family Company and USA-operated – has tapped Cutwater, with offices in San Francisco and New York City, as their creative and media agency of record after a comprehensive review.
Under this relationship, Cutwater will spearhead communications efforts, such as brand platform development, creative, production, and strategy. The agency will work across San Francisco Bay Coffee’s full product portfolio, ranging from the certified commercially compostable OneCUP pods to the Whole Bean and Ground offerings. Upcoming initiatives will include OLV, social, display, OOH, and more.
The US coffee market is projected to rise from ~$28.06 billion in 2024 to ~$33.64 billion by 2029 with statistics showing that nearly three in four Americans drink coffee every day.
San Francisco Bay Coffee is looking to tell their rich history and expand their national reach by pursuing all-new, integrated marketing endeavours.
The brand is best known for pouring their heart into every cup. For over 40 years, they’ve worked to bring the best cup of coffee, all while guaranteeing their farmer partners earn a profit above and beyond the cost of production, not just a so-called fair wage. This ongoing, social mission is complemented by a commitment toward investing in sustainable labour and environmentally friendly practices. The OneCup pods in particular are made of plant-based materials, encouraging coffee enthusiasts to enjoy a convenient cup of coffee with less plastic.
“As a West Coaster, I’m proud to see San Francisco Bay Coffee making a stir nationwide”, explains Cutwater founder and CCO Chuck McBride. “What drew me the most to the brand was their dedication toward growing the largest family of farmers and coffee communities in the world. The insights from our early sessions are promising, and there’s a lot of opportunity for creative fun and social impact.”
The inaugural campaign is slated to launch later this year.
San Francisco Bay Coffee director of marketing Jennifer Greenberg adds, “We are excited to work with Cutwater to help put the spotlight on San Francisco Bay Coffee. In our search for a partner, their breakthrough, insightful creative really won us over. We believe that their history of building small, challenger brands – while keeping true to what makes each brand unique – will help elevate the brand and allow us to reach out to more coffee loving consumers.”
The appointment follows Cutwater winning the creative agency of record title for leading global financial technology company MoneyGram International, Inc.
According to Cutwater principal and president Christian Hughes, “San Francisco Bay Coffee elevates everything it touches, from the lives of the farmers to the coffee in our cups. There’s a legacy of not just quality taste, but also family values – putting community relationships and the planet first. It’s also really great coffee.”
San Francisco Supervisor Jackie Fielder will resume her duties next week after taking a three-month leave of absence due to mental health.
“I’m coming clear-eyed and grounded and eager to serve in this role again,” Fielder said in a video posted to social media Tuesday.
Fielder was first elected in 2024 to serve District 9, which includes the Mission District and Bernal Heights and Portola neighborhoods. In late March of this year, her staffers announced she was taking a leave of absence to address an “acute personal health crisis” after missing a few weeks of Board of Supervisors meetings.
“I left the work that I love so much, not because I wanted to, but because my mental health demanded it, and I say that with no shame,” she said.
In the video statement, Fielder mentioned that the pressure of serving as a supervisor took a toll on her mental health.
“I’ve often felt like the weight of this district and city is on my shoulders, and I, through this leave, have had the silver lining of understanding that it never has,” she said. “I was going 100 miles an hour since early 2023 when I started the campaign for supervisor, and being a grassroots candidate is a lot of elbow grease.”
Fielder’s staff continued some of the work in her district while she was gone. She thanked her colleagues and Mayor Daniel Lurie for their support and allowing her to be excused from meetings.
Fielder will return to work Monday and appear at the June 30 board meeting. She is also expected to host listening sessions in her district through July.
“I am an example that it is possible to come back and heal,” she said. “I could not be more honored to serve and more ready to serve.”

An abandoned house near San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood that has been popular with squatters for years is now for sale.
On Yukon Street at the edge of Kite Hill in the Eureka Valley neighborhood, the house with arched windows over the garage, including one that’s broken, is listed for $1.3 million.
Listing agent Zara Rowbotham and her brother, James, put together a promotional video highlighting the home’s fixer-upper potential.
There is no running water or power at the house. Neighbors have reported to the city that squatters relieve themselves at the top floor atrium.
“They needed a place to do it, so they had the nice manners to do it in one basket,” Rowbotham said. “Unfortunately it was an outside basket right in front of one of the neighbors’ houses.”
With the nature of San Francisco’s red-hot housing market, Rowbothom said they already have a potential buyer.
Rowbothom added the city is swirling with money right now and there are few places to buy, so properties like the one on Yukon Street – even with a history of squatters – are being snapped up quickly. Rowbothom said they’re going for millions of dollars, with people paying cash a lot of the time.
