Scottish Sea Farms case study

The approach

• Carry out a discovery exercise to identify what made Scottish Sea Farms distinctly ‘Scottish Sea Farms’ – namely, the experience of the team, hand-picked farming locations and premium quality product
• Distil this into a content strategy of ‘people, place, product’
• Commission and art direct an extensive library of brand photography and footage, bringing these three key brand pillars to life
• Develop a distinct tone of voice: dedicated, down to earth, trusted
• Apply across every brand medium: social, digital, video, print
‍

Key outcomes

An instantly recognisable brand look and tone of voice that set Scottish Sea Farms apart from the competition and enhanced its social licence, bringing:
