Why and what

Why and what

Why and what

Starting with the why

The brand felt fragmented across markets. We needed a single story, a unified voice, and clear guardrails.
In September 2021 I began the development of the Brand Book: a playbook that defined our brand identity, visual system, and voice.


The Brand Book. our blueprint for identity

A guide to who we are, our values, how we show up in the world, and the promise we make to our customers. 


  • 191 page Brand Book at launch

  • Structured to be used daily

  • Clear rules for identity, tone of voice, photography, illustration, social media, print, store environments, packaging and uniforms

Impact of the Brand Book

Impact of the Brand Book

Impact of the Brand Book

At the Heart of The Brand 


  • Brand recognition

    • Turned scattered touchpoints into one clear identity

    • Tracked social mentions, website traffic, press, and new market launches

    • Weighted the metrics and saw roughly 20% overall lift in brand recognition


  • Customer loyalty

    • Customers stopped just buying cookies. they started buying into the story

    • Repeat purchases increased in key markets after rollout

    • Every touchpoint. packaging, ads, stores, website carried the same promise


  • Strategic alignment

    • Gave teams from Tokyo to Paris one shared playbook

    • Cut time spent “reinventing” assets. More reuse, less confusion

    • Freed people to focus on execution instead of debating basics


  • The bigger picture

    • The real win was perception. The brand felt clearer and more confident

    • New and existing markets used the Brand Book as their reference in reviews

    • When the brand spoke with one voice, it was finally heard more clearly
