DAY 1: DISCOVERY
We uncovered core tensions in the wellness space and honed in on a simple but powerful truth: consumers are tired of chasing trends, decoding labels, and listening to self-appointed gurus. They’re craving something real, grounded, and easy to stick with. We identified the opportunity for Manitoba Harvest to be the calm in the chaos.
DAY 2: EXPLORE
With a clear understanding of the landscape, we explored dozens of potential campaign platforms through rapid-fire brainstorming and collaborative riffing. From quirky, irreverent ideas to bold category claims, no seed was left unturned. This day was all about quantity and curiosity, pushing past the obvious and shaking up old assumptions.
DAY 3: UNLOCK
Together with the brand team, we evaluated the strongest platform territories through the lens of brand strategy, cultural relevance, short-term need, and long-term potential. The clear winner? Superseed It. A platform that boldly names and claims the Superseed category, while offering a straightforward antidote to wellness overwhelm. Simple. Confident. Sticky. It gave Manitoba Harvest the language and permission to lead.
DAY 4: ACTIVATE
Once aligned on the campaign idea, we poured it into the places that matter. We built out tactical creative ideas across priority touchpoints like OOH, social, CTV, and experiential, to show how the platform could flex in high-impact ways. From bold headlines to wellness-culture takedowns, every execution helped reinforce the Superseed message with clarity and swagger.
DAY 5: VALIDATE
On the final day, we delivered the Brewprint, a playbook packed with campaign-ready ideas, assets and activation templates. The brand team was blown away by how far the work had come in just five days. We left them not just with a campaign, but with a category-defining platform and the tools to run with it.
