New brand voice in a sea of sameness

Genova Seafood

Brief

Genova is the leading brand of premium canned tuna, and sister brand to the famous Chicken of the Sea. Despite a top-notch product, their brand positioning and voice needed more differentiation from the fierce competition in the “premium canned” space, and as such, it wasn’t performing as a true strategic asset.

A frame for stronger storytelling

Following a brand audit and interviews with the leadership team, we developed a compelling new brand positioning and voice that reframed the narrative from the more expected notion of ​“Elevating the everyday,” to the more emotionally resonant ​“Indulge your inner explorer.” The result is a seemingly effortless, more extendable, and notably differentiated springboard for storytelling.

“Working with Active Ingredients on our brand voice was a transformative experience for us. Their exceptional strategic thinking and outstanding messaging work helped us to reframe our story in a whole new but totally authentic way. They truly understand the power of brand, and consistently deliver results that leave us amazed.”
