SITUATION
Beesto, a honey brand with a mission, approached us to help them better communicate the incredible benefits of their local, raw, and sustainably sourced honey. The founder, Cristian Boanca, had a clear vision: to inspire and educate potential honey consumers about the medicinal properties and overall benefits of honey, while maintaining ethical beekeeping practices that respect and protect our vital pollinators.
PROBLEM
Our job was to position Beesto as an ethical and hyper-local company, differentiating it from mass-produced honey brands that often lack transparency in their sourcing and processing methods. We needed to communicate the company's commitment to sustainable beekeeping practices while making the local Portland connection a key selling point. The challenge was to balance educational content about ethical honey production with an approachable brand voice that would resonate with conscious consumers who care about where their food comes from.
SOLUTION
Our solution was to create a friendly, accessible, and playful honey brand that emphasizes both quality and ethical stewardship. The packaging we developed clearly communicates our bee-first approach, sustainable harvesting methods, and commitment to hive health, while maintaining an approachable tone that avoids overwhelming customers with technical terminology. Each label tells the story of our responsible beekeeping practices while highlighting the pure, natural qualities of our honey.

Working with the team at Odd Notion has been a treat! They asked the right questions about my business trajectories, and they did everything possible to set me up to win when I launch my business! I readily recommend Odd Notion to anyone that wants to make that branding dream a reality.
