ELM BIOSCIENCES BRAND IDENTITY REFRESH
The Challenge
I joined about-face as the brand's first brand manager hire in 2022, then returned at a pivotal moment when the brand needed to reclaim the disruptive identity that originally set it apart.
Its marketing had begun leaning more commercial — creating distance from its DNA. The edge had softened. The brief: bring it back.
The Approach
I co-led a consumer perception study with the CEO and an external agency that became the strategic backbone for a full 360° brand and marketing reset.
The work spanned owned channels, DTC, creative direction, content, social, paid media, email/SMS and experiential — a phased rebuild designed to bring back edge while driving measurable growth.
