Buddha Bowl is a fresh kitchen based in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Their brand philosophy unites healthy eating with mind, body and soul.
Buddha Bowl hired us in the earliest stage of business development. At the time, all they had was a vision. We put that vision into words and designed the entire look and feel for their brand. This required an entire branding campaign, including mission/vision statement, core values, brand pillars, tone of voice, and other collateral that would distinguish their brand from competitors.
A Foundation in Branding
Buddha bowls are a part of the latest dining fads. Many businesses in this market share similar philosophies on healthy eating. Creating a personality that would differentiate Buddha Bowl from every other fresh kitchen was essential. Therefore, we gave a lot of attention to branding. All the language crafted in the branding phase would be included throughout the website and menu, so it needed to remain true to the brand entirely. The challenge was that we needed to remain unique yet understandable and relatable. Deciding on the right language meant creating the best narrative. This is where we started.
Before moving into the Graphic Design or Web Design & Development phases, we created a full brand guideline for Buddha Bowl. This provided the blueprint for how they would present their brand to consumers, as well as how their employees would speak and interact day-to-day.
Buddha Bowl’s mission is to prove that food should propel our lives, not slow them down.
“We seek to reconnect people with their food; to show consumers how to rethink the way they approach eating by infusing original recipes, natural ingredients, and creative culinary action.”
