RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In the research phase, the focus was the needs of people from underserved communities who are looking for emotional support.
CHALLENGE: The biggest challenge was to reflect Dreavita’s abstract characteristics and find a way to connect with the audience. The aim was differentiating the brand from the usual self-growth brands to create an identity that feels genuinely intimate. Young adults with mental health issues have strong feelings: they want to be understood, and they’re very sensitive. So, something that doesn’t feel real and intimate would be ingenuine. Nature was the biggest inspiration: life passes by it, and it stays there, strong, but not overwhelmingly in your face. Nature gives you power and support on a deeper level.
