Case Study
Citiva
Fashion-inspired branding for a sleek Manhattan medical marijuana dispensary

Project Brief

Project Overview
THOR Digital's collaboration with Citiva marked a bold step into the evolving world of upscale medicinal cannabis retail. In a category often defined by inconsistent branding, Citiva set out to distinguish itself as a premium, design-forward experience—drawing inspiration from the sophistication of luxury fashion and the clarity of modern technology retail environments.
THOR began by establishing a strategic foundation, defining Citiva's positioning, audience, and long-term vision. This clarity informed a visual identity that balanced refinement with approachability, ensuring the brand resonated with both seasoned consumers and newcomers seeking a trusted, elevated experience.
The design system extended across a comprehensive suite of brand expressions. THOR developed product packaging that felt more akin to high-end cosmetics than traditional cannabis products, alongside apparel that reinforced brand culture and visibility. The retail environment was approached holistically, with every detail—materials, layout, and visual cues—crafted to evoke the seamless, curated feel of a modern flagship store.
The result was a cohesive and differentiated brand that elevated perceptions of medicinal cannabis retail. Citiva emerged with a distinctive presence, delivering a consistent, premium experience that aligns with evolving consumer expectations and sets a new benchmark within the category.
