I partnered with Sweet & Boozy Ice Cream in 2023 as their lead freelance designer, helping transform a small family business into a 7-figure brand with 23 locations nationwide. Sweet & Boozy creates premium alcoholic ice cream with 2-5% alcohol content that delivers a unique dessert experience.
Initially brought on to design their launch at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, I expanded their visual presence across environmental graphics, game day advertising, concession stands, and comprehensive marketing materials.
After our successful stadium debut, I became their ongoing design partner, creating scalable branding systems that supported their rapid expansion from 2 local storefronts to 23 venues across multiple states, including 19 minor league baseball fields and major NFL partnerships.

2-Year Strategic Marketing Partnership
"Working with Nikolai was honestly a game-changer for our business. When we started, we were just this small family ice cream shop trying to figure out how to make it in the big leagues, and he came in and basically built us a whole brand system that we could actually use everywhere.
We would call him and be like 'hey, we need three new menus by tomorrow for this baseball stadium' and somehow he would pull it off every single time.
The design and menu system he created was so solid that we could roll it out to 23 different venues without it looking like a hot mess. Honestly, I don't think we would've been able to scale the way we did without his help.

"From an operations standpoint, Nikolai made my job so much easier when we were expanding into new venues.
Every stadium and ballpark has different requirements – some can't do certain menu items, others have space constraints, and don't even get me started on the different permit restrictions for alcohol sales.
But the system he built was flexible enough that we could adapt quickly to whatever curveballs a new venue threw at us.
Nikolai understood the logistical nightmare of managing 23+ locations and created materials that actually made sense for our day-to-day operations, not just pretty pictures."

Allegiant Stadium Launch
In 2023, Sweet & Boozy launched into Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, securing an official partnership with the Las Vegas Raiders as their primary ice cream vendor—a major breakthrough that elevated them from local business to national brand presence.
The stadium launch required comprehensive marketing materials across every customer touchpoint. I designed game day advertisements for attendee pamphlets, video overlays and digital graphics for both Las Vegas Raiders and Allegiant Stadium websites, plus dynamic video content for stadium screens displaying scores and live footage.
My challenge was transforming their existing brand foundation into a comprehensive marketing campaign that could compete alongside major national brands in a premier NFL venue.
This launch represented a pivotal moment for Sweet & Boozy, transitioning from local storefronts to a major NFL stadium with millions of annual visitors and national media exposure.
Scaling Business
Sweet & Boozy began as a small family-owned business serving their local community. Within two years of our partnership, they transformed into a full-scale ice cream company serving over 250,000 customers annually at Allegiant Stadium alone.
I evolved their existing branding and graphics into a scalable system that maintained consistency while adapting to diverse venue requirements. This systematic approach enabled rapid expansion across multiple markets without compromising brand recognition or quality.
Over our two-year collaboration, the concession stands and marketing materials I created reached approximately 20.3 million people across all venues in 2023 and 2024.
We scaled Sweet & Boozy from basic social media presence and two storefronts to 23 locations nationwide, including prestigious venues like Cool Ray Field in Lawrenceville, Georgia; Prince Philip Park in Des Moines, Illinois; Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota; PNC Field in Moosic, Pennsylvania; and Las Vegas Ballpark.
Based on conservative calculations using a 1% conversion rate of stadium visitors making minimum $13 purchases, Sweet & Boozy generated an estimated $7 million in revenue during our partnership period.

A Living Brand
Sweet & Boozy had already established strong community connections and word-of-mouth marketing before our partnership began. The ownership team had built authentic relationships with community events and minor league baseball personnel, creating natural opportunities for venue partnerships.
My role was to professionalize this grassroots brand while preserving its authentic community spirit. I helped capture and strategically utilize lifestyle photography from their pop-up stands and events, transforming organic moments into powerful digital marketing content.
The brand centers on a simple but compelling proposition: transforming your favorite sweet treat into something more exciting with a touch of alcohol. This concept resonated strongly with their target audience and became the foundation for all marketing messaging.
Sweet & Boozy differentiated themselves through unique dessert bar presentations featuring signature "ThunderCups" and specialty dessert bowls. These oversized treats combined their alcoholic ice cream with premium toppings like cheesecake and strawberry shortcake, creating Instagram-worthy offerings that became destination items customers specifically sought out.
The Product
Sweet & Boozy creates premium ice cream infused with alcoholic powder, resulting in 2-5% alcohol content that delivers a pleasant buzz without intoxication—perfect for enhancing the entertainment experience at sporting events and social gatherings.
The real differentiator lies in their creative presentations and premium toppings. Their signature ThunderCups feature oversized portions (1.5-2 pints) topped with gourmet treats. The popular "Cookies and Scream" showcases a giant Oreo ice cream cookie with whipped cream and chocolate syrup, while other offerings include mini apple pies, cake slices, and strawberry shortcake toppings.
Base products are available in multiple sizes ranging from 4-ounce to 12-ounce cups at venues, with larger portions available at physical locations to accommodate different price points and consumption preferences.
During our partnership, Sweet & Boozy expanded into wholesale distribution, offering pints, quarts, and 3-gallon tubs to businesses with alcohol licenses. This B2B diversification strategy reduced dependence on direct consumer sales while creating new revenue streams and market penetration opportunities.

Retail Point Of Sale Graphics
When I joined Sweet & Boozy, they had solid branding but lacked essential retail graphics for their physical locations. This represented a critical gap between brand identity and customer-facing execution.
I transformed their existing brand assets into a comprehensive retail graphics system encompassing concession stands, storefronts, menus, A-frame signs, and table tents. Working directly with ownership, I developed all graphics from the ground up.
The primary challenge involved creating a cohesive visual system that could be seamlessly replicated across 23 diverse venues while maintaining brand consistency. The graphics needed to be highly adaptable yet standardized, enabling efficient handoff to regional printers nationwide.
Store Front Display Design
Sweet & Boozy operated two distinct retail configurations across their venue portfolio, each requiring specialized design approaches and operational considerations.
Permanent storefronts were integrated into stadium infrastructure with full commercial kitchens and capacity for 3-4 staff members. These locations functioned as complete mini-businesses within host venues, requiring comprehensive environmental graphics.
Mobile concession carts provided operational flexibility with streamlined two-person teams. These units came pre-stocked with ice cream inventory and compact dessert bar configurations, enabling dynamic positioning throughout stadiums.
Each mobile cart required custom vehicle wraps, tailored menu designs, and portable A-frame signage. Additionally, all staff members wore branded uniforms including hats and shirts that I designed to ensure consistent brand representation.

Menu Design
Menu designs required complete flexibility and rapid update capabilities to support Sweet & Boozy's dynamic expansion strategy.
I developed a modular design framework that could be quickly customized for each venue's specific requirements. Not every location offered identical products due to varying operational capabilities and liquor license restrictions.
This created a dynamic design challenge requiring a living system that adapted to each venue's unique circumstances and seasonal changes. Menu formats varied dramatically across locations—ranging from large billboard-sized prints to digital displays spanning up to six televisions at single concession stands.
23 Venues | 25+ Menus
Across 23 venues, every season demanded comprehensive menu updates reflecting new product launches and venue-specific availability constraints.
Baseball stadiums presented varying liquor license restrictions—some locations could sell signature ThunderCups while others couldn't offer alcoholic options at all. Venues without liquor licenses could only feature non-alcoholic flavor selections.
As Sweet & Boozy expanded into mobile carts and food truck operations, additional menu variations became necessary to accommodate space and storage limitations of smaller retail configurations.
The design system I created enabled rapid adaptation of core menu templates across all operational contexts while maintaining brand consistency and accommodating regulatory restrictions and venue-specific limitations.

Packaging Design
Sweet & Boozy's existing direct-to-consumer packaging was created by another freelancer before my involvement. My role focused on strategic updates to support their rapid product expansion and nationwide shipping launch.
As Sweet & Boozy introduced new flavors and refreshed product copy, I modified existing packaging designs to maintain compliance and market relevance. In 2023, Sweet & Boozy launched nationwide online sales with direct-to-home shipping capabilities, representing a major business expansion.
This e-commerce launch required comprehensive packaging updates ensuring legal compliance across all 50 states. The product line expanded dramatically from the original 12 flavors to nearly 40 options—available through both direct-to-consumer and wholesale channels.
Updating Existing Design
Package design updates primarily involved strategic copy refreshment, layout optimization, and regulatory compliance enhancements rather than complete visual overhauls.
Each state maintains unique alcohol sales and shipping regulations, requiring careful navigation of complex and varying legal requirements across all markets. These compliance updates proved essential for Sweet & Boozy's successful expansion into online sales while preserving the established visual brand identity.
The packaging modifications focused on clear communication of all required information while maintaining Sweet & Boozy's distinctive playful brand personality and market positioning.

Print Ads + Event Graphics
I developed comprehensive print advertising campaigns adapting Sweet & Boozy's brand across newspapers, catalogs, brochures, and specialized event materials to maximize their visibility across diverse media channels.
Beyond standard print advertising, I created custom event graphics for stadium events where Sweet & Boozy maintained active participation and sponsorship presence. Sweet & Boozy established unique partnerships at two college venues—Southwest University in El Paso, Texas and ERAU Soccer Stadium in Daytona Beach, Florida—where they operated both retail locations and official event sponsorships.
These college partnerships demanded specialized marketing approaches including event graphics, paid advertisements in campus publications and local newspapers, plus promotional posters distributed throughout campus facilities.
Game Day Ads
For Allegiant Stadium and minor league baseball venues, I designed targeted game day advertisements appearing in official programs and attendee brochures, reaching captive audiences during peak engagement moments.
These strategic ads highlighted product differentiation while providing essential customer information including concession stand locations, digital contact details, and official partnership status with venue teams. I customized each advertisement for specific venues by incorporating recognizable team elements such as Raiders flags, college team colors, and official logos.
The advertisements required immediate visual impact and clear communication of the unique alcoholic ice cream value proposition to stadium audiences with limited attention spans and high sensory competition.

Sales Sheets
As Sweet & Boozy evolved beyond direct consumer sales, they required professional B2B materials to support wholesale expansion. I developed three distinct sales sheets targeting different market segments and product categories.
The first focused on 8-ounce flavors (standard pints), the second highlighted 14-ounce options (double pints), and the third showcased 3-gallon tubs featuring exclusive flavors in development that weren't available to general consumers.
Wholesaling Materials
Sweet & Boozy's long-term strategic vision centered on wholesale expansion—securing placement in grocery stores and partnering with retailers to handle direct consumer sales, mirroring successful models like Ben & Jerry's market approach.
My contribution to this strategic transition involved creating comprehensive wholesaling materials designed to attract business partners and demonstrate Sweet & Boozy's market viability and growth potential.

Video Ads
For Allegiant Stadium, I created dynamic video advertisements designed for the Jumbotron and venue screens, delivering Sweet & Boozy's message to captive audiences during peak engagement moments.
These video campaigns utilized full-screen advertisements during breaks and "L-bracket" overlays during live game footage, ensuring consistent brand visibility without disrupting the viewing experience.
Billboard Videos
Allegiant Stadium features a massive electronic billboard facing the Las Vegas Strip, providing premium advertising real estate to millions of annual Strip visitors.
I designed large-format vertical advertisements for this high-visibility billboard, rotating campaigns every few months to showcase Sweet & Boozy's stadium offerings while driving traffic to their online platforms.
One particularly successful billboard campaign promoted the launch of Sweet & Boozy's direct-to-consumer shipping service, featuring their signature "Las Vegas Vice" flavor.

Fridges + Concepts
In the final phase of our partnership, I focused on comprehensive point-of-sale branding for refrigeration units and display cases across Sweet & Boozy's retail network. I designed custom branded wraps for mini-fridges, freezer chests, and industrial-grade refrigerators across all 23 locations, creating consistent brand visibility at every customer touchpoint.
This refrigeration branding ensured Sweet & Boozy maintained visual dominance even when sharing retail space with competing brands, reinforcing their premium positioning at the critical point of purchase. I also developed strategic concepts for mobile ice cream carts targeting high-value Las Vegas casino and hotel markets, specifically Caesars Entertainment properties and other premier Strip destinations.
Ice Cream Truck
In late 2023, an independent entrepreneur approached Sweet & Boozy seeking to launch a franchise ice cream truck operation in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I designed a complete vehicle wrap for this converted delivery truck, establishing the first mobile alcoholic ice cream franchise under Sweet & Boozy's expanding business model.
This project required coordination with specialized vehicle wrap manufacturers for precise measurements and technical specifications while collaborating with the franchisee who operated independently from Sweet & Boozy's core operations. The truck necessitated its own comprehensive brand ecosystem including custom menus, localized marketing materials, and dedicated social media presence operating as "Sweet & Boozy of Minnesota, Minneapolis."
