Science meets nature
Healist use cutting edge science to unlock the potential and push the possibilities of natural ingredients. We saw science and nature as fundamental pillars of the identity and Healist as the sweet spot in between, harnessing the two. For the brand to be its most impactful, this balance would have to be represented throughout the visual and verbal identity, starting with the creation of the ‘H’ marque and demonstrated in the reveal of the split packaging.
Building efficacy through science
In a category of cowboys, we needed to reinforce the efficacy of Healist’s all-natural ingredients. From a clean, clinical white as the brand’s primary colour to lab inspired iconography and detail, science forms the base of the brand, and is used as a consistent, reassuring structure on which the potential of nature and our bodies can be explored.
Letting nature do its thing
With science as a base, we chose to bring nature to life as an adaptable living layer. Every ingredient is carefully considered and chosen for its known benefits – many of which have been around for hundreds if not thousands of years. We took inspiration from botanical drawings to create Healist’s master illustration style, illustrating each key ingredient across the Healist range.
Blends with benefits
Healist’s product architecture is made up of four benefit ranges, each with its own collection of formats. For greater ease and clarity, we use master illustrations alongside benefit specific colours and iconography to pull each range apart. Each benefit icon nods to the circular focal point of the ‘H’ marque and representative of the desired effect of each respective benefit.
Breaking the stigma
Healist wanted to cut through the noise and change the narrative of a confusing category, so we made it the voice of reason. Bringing the brand to life off pack, a confident and reassuring tone of voice, and brand messaging aim to inform and empower consumers.
Building an online brand
For any modern brand, a strong online presence and e-commerce platform is a given. But for Healist to really change the narrative around CBD, online had to deliver beyond the standard D2C template, and offer transparency.
Engaging our audience
Healist speaks to a breadth of different lifestyles, opening up the benefits and possibilities of CBD beyond the typical target consumer. Social media and offline touchpoints such as influencer boxes work hard to continue the education and transparency of the website and show how Healist can fit in to your day-to-day.
Brand from start to finish
Having created and launched our own brands, we could anticipate the extent of what was required to build Healist a global brand that’s fit for purpose. We worked collaboratively with Present Life to take Healist from brand strategy, right through to brand communications, considering every touch point in between and the journey of the consumer.
