Nekeia sells things with words for a living. She still couldn’t describe her own brand.

That’s not a knock on her. It’s what happens to every founder eventually. You build the thing, you live inside it, and slowly the brand stops being a thing you can see and starts being just... you.

Which is fine, right up until a stranger has to understand it in two seconds on a shelf.

Full video on building on YouTube, link in bio.

Your brand doesn’t get to come to the shop with you.

It sits on a shelf, next to everyone else, and it gets about two seconds and a glance from someone who’s never heard of you. Whatever it says in that moment, it says on its own.

That’s the shift a strategy session makes. We pull everything out of your head, all the reasons and instincts you can’t quite put into words, and we reorder it around the one person who matters: the shopper reaching for your product.

We did it with Nekeia at Tudy’s Kitchen. The product was always exceptional. Once the brand was built around her customer instead of around her, the pack finally said so in two seconds flat.

Most founders think strategy is the expensive bit before the real work. So they skip it and go straight to the nice-looking part.

Then the nice-looking part doesn’t work, because nothing underneath it was decided. So they pay again for the version that does.

We made a film about a founder who’d been there. It’s on YouTube now, link in bio.

🎈Two birthdays in this house today. Mine, and Raffy’s third. Yes we have the same birthday! 🎈

Five photos, three years. The only one where he’s sitting still is the one where he’s asleep, and he was a few weeks old at the time.

You’ll also notice he’s got considerably bigger and I’ve carried on picking him up regardless.

Still banned from the room when we’re on calls. Still no interest whatsoever in the concept of a working day.

Happy birthday, Raff! ❤️

Catching up on a busy few weeks, today looking back at Pentawards Meets: Jury Edition 👌

I got invited along to see this year’s shortlist, all 700 of them, and sit in on a panel of judges talking through what they’d been seeing.

Amazing to see a shortlist that big in one room. You get a real sense of where the category’s heading. It was great to see it all in person, print finishes, little details, all the different formats.

Best bit though was the people. A few familiar faces, a few new ones, and the ace chats that come with it.

Shoutout Morgan Hastie | Brand & Packaging Designer, Cj Cawley | Graphic Designer, , , , and Carol Kemp to name a few 🙌

Well worth the trip.

The cheapest brand research you’ll ever do, and almost nobody does it.

Go stand in your aisle and try to answer the one question a shopper’s actually asking.

Full breakdown’s on YouTube (link in bio). Or comment SCORE for your Shelf Ready Score.

A year on the recipe. Ten seconds in the aisle to realise the hard bit was never the recipe.

This is the moment most founders avoid, because they’re a bit scared of what the aisle will tell them.

Full thing’s on our brand new YouTube channel (link in bio) or comment YOUTUBE and we’ll DM the link.

A founder said that. About his own product. After a year building it 😬

He stood in the aisle, picked his up next to the competition, and couldn’t find one reason a stranger would choose his.

His product was great. That was never the problem.

The problem is the question almost no founder can answer: Why yours and not the one next to it?

It’s been great seeing everyone’s logo work popping up with .now. A nice excuse to look through the archives. Here are some new ones and some old.

Last week we promised an IFE brand shoutout post. Here it is…

is overwhelming. Thousands of brands. Most of it blurs into one. But a few genuinely stopped us in our tracks.

Not just because the products were great (they were). Because the branding was doing its job.

— The range feels like a family. Same structure, same energy across every SKU. That kind of consistency is harder to pull off than it looks.

— Bold colour, playful type, and a personality that holds across the range. Loud without losing credibility. Not easy.

— The illustrated character ties the whole range together. Swap the colour, keep the personality. That’s how you build a brand system that scales.
uk — Clear wrapper, big blue script, nothing else. The logo is the packaging. It’s a masterclass in knowing when to stop.

— Eye-catching illustration. Ownable, consistent, and instantly recognisable across every product. A strong brand mark earns that kind of recognition.

— The retro type and dark backgrounds create a world entirely their own. The range feels cohesive without feeling rigid.

Six brands that understand something a lot of founders miss, consistency isn’t about being repetitive. It’s about being recognisable.

Good luck to all of them 🙌
