The brand that explained itself to death
A brand loses information per sentence and gains meaning per interaction.
These responses improve S2W’s visual language across this project and approved S2W API surfaces. No visual is replaced or published automatically.
The problem
A young brand wanted every sentence to communicate purpose, ingredients, provenance, differentiation, philosophy and founder story.
The result
Nothing sounded untrue. Nothing sounded alive either.
The move
Each message was given one job.
The effect
The brand lost information per sentence and gained meaning per interaction.
The question
How much of your communication exists because the organisation is afraid somebody might misunderstand it?
