Process
& Results.

the science

Adding a mystical soul across the digital & physical branded CX — to connect the Raw Republic's values to the city & the wider universe.

Our team rethought the Creative Direction, bringing elements of holistic medicine & spirituality — the very values that birthed NOLA’s Raw Republic — to the forefront.

We created an overarching theme that highlighted their brand principles rooted in New Orleans mysticism & personal spiritual journeys. 

Addressing the full phygital customer experience — we developed custom brand patterns & graphic elements for a more runic, celestial design style. Created stylized product photography mimicing alters found across NOLA and introduced an updated take on the in-store employee uniforms.

Our Team Rethought The The Creative Direction, Bringing Elements Of Holistic Medicine X Spirituality — The Very Values That Birthed NOLA’s Raw Republic — To The Forefront. We Developed Additional Brand Patterns X Graphic Elements For A More Runic, Celestial Design Style.

Our team wanted to rethink the way Raw Republic was photographed. From the juices themselves to the raw ingredients they’re derived from — we produced imagery where each unit would be displayed in an altered-like state. This direction ties in the expansion of the brand as well as nods to the more mystical culture of New Orleans — driving both local devotion & health-minded tourist intrigue.

During our rich back & forth with the executive team, we established a visual system of tying in spiritual symbology, sacred geometry. Expanding on the idea of the original Raw Republic logo symbol, this pattern incorporates a diverse symbology that ties in concepts surrounding the mission of the brand & founders.  Creating a reminder & space for the manifestation of intentions wherever the pattern is present.

In our earlier discussions, we felt confident that a refined web presence, both visually and functionally, would act as a major convoy for ushering in the more out-there, unique aspects of the Raw Republic story. Our team wanted to create an online journey for customers to experience much more than juice, learning about the intention behind Raw Republic and feeling driven toward purchase with optimized ecomm UX, concise meaningful copy, and clean call-to-actions.

For the next phase of Raw Republic, a health x wellness foods brand based in New Orleans, LA., the founders, came to us looking to elevate their visual narrative and take the brand to that next level — while still holding onto the existing logo & bottle designs.

As part of the result, they were looking for their existing brand & digital presence to reflect the wider wellness industry they were expanding into — with more spiritually aware and celestial aspect that connect to not only their customers stomachs, but their deeper level of being.
