Brand Transformation //
CRAFTING AN ICONIC BRAND
Essentia Water approached us as a thriving premium water bottle brand with a unique cult following. Unlike the traditional problem-solving cases, our task was centered around harnessing the potential for exponential growth and transforming the brand from a cult favorite to an iconic staple in popular culture. Working collaboratively with the Essentia leadership team, we embarked on a mission to evolve their identity, establish consistency, and provide clarity across all brand touchpoints.
We undertook a comprehensive revamp of the brand's visual identity and digital experience, including the design of the product, branding guidelines, website, and social media presence. We redesigned their bottle icon, overhauled the brand's design language, and optimized their retail visibility. The new brand design captured Essentia's bold, unique character, highlighting its 'overachieving' essence.
