In their own words
The initial idea was around 'more lemons'. When they came to us, they were launching all-new flavours.
Our goal was to create something as simple and delicious as the product itself.
Lemons, lemons, lemons. When you see lemons, you know it's good for you.
We drew inspiration from the analogue world of film and cinema, blending it with graphic interpretations of batch processing to reflect the efficiency and artistry behind BATCH's technology.
Before the rebrand, Coconut Cult used a changing wordmark. While this approach was very playful and true to their creative nature, it made brand consistency a challenge.
The set design in Holy Mountain really stuck out to me. When we started talking about cults, I wanted to find a way to weave them into the work without overpowering what makes the products so great.
Many brands cut corners for financial reasons. But Coconut Cult is deeply committed to the idea of 'food as medicine' and to delivering probiotics as 'living food'.
We believe every brand has something weird or different about them, and that’s their most valuable asset.
When you try to please everyone, you wind up with a ‘vanilla’ brand that says nothing.
A great brand is like a great person, true and honest about who they are, unafraid to show their true colours.
