1. The brand
After much pondering and research, we believe we have found the best result for our planned holistic project. This brand reflects both current market trends and our goals to build this project around a self-explanatory brand and image.
The message of this brand name works both ways: as a fictitious lifestyle brand for sustainable products as well as a flagship for our sustainable packaging concepts and solutions.
The idea behind it - what is Better Human
Better Human is a brand that produces high quality products on a sustainable basis.
All products are made from sustainable and recyclable ingredients, such as wood from sustainable agriculture (No tropical woods), spit starch, seaweed etc.
To highlight the sustainability of these products, Better Human uses only sustainable and highly recyclable materials and concepts.
The target audience
Better Human's target audience includes all ages and genders.
Better Human customers are characterized by earning enough money to spend more of it on electronic devices that sustainably protect the planet.
Being a Better Human customer then becomes a statement and the brand has a great opportunity to become successful as a Veblen brand.
2. The products
Better Human - products and their names
The products of better human are characterized by the fact that they represent the brand in a very independent, memorable and recognizable way, also through the product names and concepts.
All product names are based on the Better Human corporate design colors and a very unique spelling that leaves room for interpretation and wordplay.
