What to Consider When Considering a Rebrand?

There is no magical timeline when it becomes necessary to rebrand yet there are quite a few reasons to consider challenging your current design framework. At the root of the discussion is understanding the problem you are trying to solve. This isn’t always obvious but once established, it helps drive decisions throughout the design process which ultimately drives clarity for the consumer.

Take a step back from the day-to-day to get a better look at your brand.

It’s possible your sales flattened out over time and you’re looking for solutions. Perhaps it’s the opposite where you are experiencing rapid growth across multiple categories and have lost control of the design systems making it difficult to see continuity. Changes in leadership, new packaging form factors, target audience shifts, or retailer opportunities may be enough to start the conversation.

Pulp Pantry—It’s time to grow up

A young company does what it can with what it has. Sometimes that bootstrapped mentality is enough to get traction in market but it may also become an obstacle as you begin to scale. It could be a matter of being too close to the product and forgetting the importance of professional branding or simply a fear of spending when you’re still fighting. Either way, it’s time to take a closer look if your goal is to move from being a product to becoming a brand.

What do you do with your pulp?

It all started with a simple question and grew from there. The company plan was to start small with a few products and then innovate through different product extensions.

But they knew the packaging wasn’t set up for this growth. Our initial meetings were set up to understand this short and long-term plan, learn as much about this new snack category and solidify the company foundation to properly set the course for creative development from the eyes of a consumer.

Better Booch—Farmers market to Mass market

It was always the goal to move from its humble grassroots beginnings to the national stage. Better Booch had a great product that did well locally but when it came to the larger market, buyers were concerned with the packaging communication and lack of shelf presence. We find it’s not always the best products that sell, it’s the ones that communicate the clearest. So it was time to identify core brand equities that laid the initial foundation and determine how to build brand recognition, shelf blocking and clear messaging so the brand could grow.

Health is wealth trend

Retailers understood the potential and liked how Better Booch closely linked to consumers establishing healthy lifestyles and actively seeking natural wellness. But if the consumers have trouble shopping the package, it wouldn’t succeed on shelf.

We needed to amplify the brand to ensure consumers could easily find it in a sea of options.

Takeaways

Take over the shelf and block out all of the noise.
This project started by taking the time to define who they competed against as there are several ways to look at the competitive market when considering functional beverages. In the previous packaging, Kombucha was small and unnoticeable which led to some of the confusion on shelf.

Consumers don’t buy what they don’t understand. By elevating brand and product to primary positions, other details could enrich the story once attention was captured. And to build buyer confidence, it was clear Better Booch needed to prove it could stand out in a bold way.

We capitalized on the core brand equities in the rainbow of flavor colors to create instant recognition and partnered that with easily shopped messaging. Once in hand, consumers find smaller yet more focused illustrations that maintained the iconic brand roots found on the original packaging.

This led to a successful leap to the national stage and can be found at Whole Foods, Costco, Target, Walmart, and Albertsons.

Coastal Sun—A brand that lives past packaging

Creating successful packaging is only one part of the branding story. Coastal Sun realized they had built a brand that didn’t scale past packaging in a meaningful way and needed to address these concerns in order to become a strong lifestyle brand. This project needed to build a memorable and recognizable brand system which could equally flex for line extensions and merchandising opportunities.

Colorfully Californian. Proudly Organic. Highest quality.

Coastal Sun had a clear vision of who they were but had not articulated it in a way for immediate recognition. We started identifying core aspects that could be adapted to become indelible and ensure consumers fell in love with the brand, not just the product.

Though the original brand helped loosely tie the farm location to the California coast, it wasn’t uniquely ownable and did not create an emotional connection that might entice brand fanatics. While the colors were great at adding liveliness and distinguishing individual strains, there wasn’t enough brand recognition to get credit for its breadth and innovation.

It wasn’t time to start from scratch, it was time to refine and elevate with purpose.

Takeaways

Elevate the brand.
To create instant recognizability on the new form factor, we developed static and dynamic areas of the package, including clear space for the new logo and illustration. This also successfully tied brand and product colors to ensure consumer connection.

By developing custom illustrations, we could tell a unique story, act as a bullseye on shelf, set the tone for additional brand assets and include a discoverable element that builds brand love.

With the core brand, messaging and packaging assets set for growth, Coastal Sun had a foundation that could adapt and flex while still remaining recognizable to its roots.

Check out the results.
