Background
Healthy Food Ingredients (HFI) is a growing family of specialty ingredient brands that deliver safe, healthy, premium-quality ingredients to food manufacturers globally. With the exciting addition of HFI’s latest acquisition, the company needed an updated, holistic brand overhaul.
Challenge
To develop and execute a strategic marketing plan that 1) clarified HFI’s target audiences, 2) defined HFI’s brand messaging and visual identity, and 3) applied that knowledge to the creation and launch of new marketing materials.
Solution
Activated Growth gained insight from HFI’s internal and external key stakeholders. We then followed our strategic methodology to define HFI’s brand attributes, brand story and brand identity. With the foundation in place, we developed the company’s logo, color palette and tagline. From there, we set to work creating clear brand guidelines and key brand assets. We came full circle by creating clear, consistent and engaging marketing messaging and materials that brought the brand to life – online and offline, internally and externally.
