Story

Working as a team of four we were directed to develop or reinvent a brand personality of a chosen company. Research marketing strategy led us to brainstorm and produce various touch-points that could be used to gain brand awareness. Creating a brand book to accompany the touch-points helps document the brand concept, graphic standards and multidimensional application. The brand book also establishes the company morals, goals, mission and vision which are all essential for a business that wants to gain a specific audience and grow.

Our group decided to start a new honey business in the Sacramento area and we were inspired by an east coast existing company called beelove. We took their name and applied our own mission and vision to create a whole new company.
