Drag the divider to compare. Verdant Foods's site before Nexora vs. what shipped on launch day.

The challenge

Verdant had a good product trapped in a 2017 wellness-brand identity. Whole Foods passed twice on national distribution. The founder needed a brand that signaled premium without resorting to the same 'minimalist sage green' every other CPG had defaulted to.

Strategy

  • Rebuild positioning around culinary authority, not 'clean ingredients.'
  • Develop a visual identity that referenced legacy gastronomy, not millennial wellness.
  • Ship a new flagship eCommerce site + retailer-facing marketing site.
  • Launch a paid campaign timed to the Whole Foods buyer review window.

Execution

  1. 1Full brand strategy + identity in 9 weeks.
  2. 2Designed packaging system across 14 SKUs.
  3. 3Shipped Shopify Plus + headless marketing site in 11 weeks.
  4. 4Ran a strategic awareness campaign targeting Whole Foods buyer geographies.

They got the brief on day one. We were tired of looking like every other plant-based brand. The new identity is the reason Whole Foods finally said yes.
