Messaging

WE DEFINE BRAND MESSAGING AS:

Brand messaging isn't just copy. It's communication systems that build recognition and revenue.

Brand Messaging That Drives Clear, Compelling Connections and Real Impact

Born & Bred specializes in transforming complex strategies into clear, compelling brand messaging. Our approach blends storytelling with strategic insights, ensuring your voice is authentic, your narratives are engaging, and your communication consistently delivers measurable results.

Is Your Messaging Moving the Needle?

Consistent Brand Voice Across Channels

Your marketing materials sound different from your sales pitches, and your website tone doesn’t match your social media presence. This lack of cohesion confuses customers and dilutes your brand identity. We establish comprehensive brand voice guidelines and messaging frameworks that ensure consistency across all platforms, strengthening brand recognition and trust.

Clear, Compelling Messaging

Our strategic messaging creates emotional connections, turning casual viewers into loyal customers through authentic storytelling. Through audience research and persona development, we ensure your messaging is precisely targeted, empathetic, and relevant, fostering stronger connections and driving higher engagement.

Unique Value & Market Differentiation

Your core differentiators are lost in jargon or generic claims, leading to missed opportunities and slower growth. We dive deep to uncover your unique selling propositions and craft powerful value proposition messaging that clearly communicates your benefits and resonates with target audience pain points.

ā€œBusinesses that balance brand and performance marketing see an average ROI increase of 90%.ā€

Jennifer Kokell

Director Of Digital Communication

Working with Born & Bred has been integral to the success of several large brand buildouts at PepsiCo. Their collaborative approach and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Thanks to Born & Bred, our brands are attracting more attention and driving success.

Eric Perinotti

Design Senior Manager, Corporate + Communications

After six years and six million deliveries, it was time to revisit the Eaze brand to make sure it aligned with how we’ve evolved as a company. Born & Bred were great partners through the process. They’re unafraid of taking strategic creative risks and did an incredible job of capturing where Eaze is today, and where we want to go.

Rogelio Choy

CEO

What does "brand" even mean? I use to think of myself as a product founder. Build awesome products, and you'll have an awesome company. Boy was I wrong!! Brand is so much more than pretty colors and aspirational phrases. It's the very essence of who you are, and why you do what you do.

Tony Tran

Co-Founder

Born & Bred is our partner in building a captivating brand. Their professionalism and savvy shines through all that they do.

LUMANU

Creating a bold B2B
brand for even bolder creators

Lumanu had built a powerful platform for creators, but their brand felt too buttoned-up for an audience defined by self-expression and ambition. We reimagined their identity from the ground up—developing a bold, unapologetically creative brand and a surreal, collage-inspired campaign that brought their vision to life across social, OOH, and digital, positioning Lumanu as a true champion of the creator economy.

DEL MONTE

Growing the most profitable
pineapple in Del Monte history

The Del Monte Pinkglow pineapple brought a new level of vibrancy to produce and needed a brand to match. By tapping into the pineapple’s royal history, we created a regal experience for the Pinkglow brand identity and packaging, including a custom coat of arms and pineapple crown. The branding went viral, with everyone from Jimmy Kimmel to The Today Show clamoring to get their hands on the exciting new fruit.

S*Shots

Branding That Hits as Hard as the Product

S*Shots had a potent product, but the brand was missing its mark. We scrapped the wellness act and leaned into weed culture. From the name to the attitude, we rebuilt the brand for people who take cannabis seriously, bold packaging, irreverent copy, and a tone that feels more sesh than science. S*Shots became ā€œfor the love of THC,ā€ launching with a campaign that owned its strength and celebrated its community.

Expert insights for brand building success

01 Know Your Niche, and Stick To It

Don’t try and be everything to everyone. Dominate your domain by focusing sharply on your niche. Catering to a specific audience builds a stronger, more dedicated customer base and sets your brand apart

02 Business Strategy Before Brand Strategy

Align your brand with a solid business foundation. A brand is only as strong as the business strategy behind it. Before diving into brand messaging, together we ensure you have a clear, actionable business vision that guides every decision.

03 Continuous Thoughtful Engagement

In a world of fleeting attention spans, consistent and meaningful engagement is key. It's not about bombarding your audience but connecting with them through relevant, valuable interactions over time.

04 Take the Risk, Be Brave

You know those brands that you love and strive to be? They all made the hard, bold choice. The market rewards bravery. Brands that resonate are often those willing to make bold, unconventional choices. Don't shy away from standing out.

Success isn’t a feeling — it’s a framework.

FAQs

How can you measure how effective a brand is?

Effectiveness isn’t a vibe — it’s measurable. We look at KPIs like awareness, engagement, lead gen, conversion rates, and brand lift studies. For campaigns, we also measure traffic, CTR, CPA, and ROAS. A strong brand shows up in both performance metrics and customer loyalty.

What happens if I go over revision rounds?

We build in clear checkpoints and feedback loops to minimize endless tweaks — but if you need more rounds, we’ll keep the momentum going with transparent scope adjustments. No surprise charges, just smart collaboration.

Should we test the brand with our audience?

If you’re making a big shift or launching in a high-stakes category, audience testing can be invaluable. We offer both qualitative and quantitative research to pressure-test concepts and make confident, data-backed decisions.

How involved will we need to be during the brand building process?

You're not signing up for a second job — but your input is key. We lead the process, but your vision, feedback, and insights fuel the work. We’ll align upfront on expectations and timing so it’s smooth and efficient.

Do you use AI when building brands?

Yes—but think of it as a creative sidekick, not the main event. We use AI to accelerate research, generate early concepts, and test creative performance. But the magic? That still comes from human intuition and cultural insight.

What collaboration tools do you use during the process?

We keep things streamlined and accessible. Expect Figma for creative, Google Docs for strategy and timelines, and Slack or email for daily updates — whatever fits your team best.

Can we go viral?

Maybe. But virality isn’t a strategy — impact is. We design campaigns that are built to perform and scale, not just trend and disappear.

Do you do boring campaigns too?

Only if they work. But honestly? We’d rather help you build something bold, differentiated, and conversion-ready. Because beige doesn’t break through.
