Despite strong product efficacy, OPTY.NC was being perceived as a supplement brand—limiting its ability to command a premium position within the beauty and wellness market.

The category itself is highly fragmented: dominated either by overly clinical brands lacking emotional resonance, or lifestyle-led brands without scientific credibility. OPTY.NC sat between these two extremes, without a clearly defined identity.

The challenge was to reposition the brand as a desirable, credible beauty brand grounded in science —one that could sit confidently alongside premium skincare while maintaining trust and authority. At the same time, the brief called for a vibrant and distinctive visual identity that would stand out in a highly competitive, social-first landscape.

This required a complete rethinking of how the brand was structured, expressed and experienced across every touchpoint.

The challenge was to reposition the brand as a desirable, credible beauty brand grounded in science—one that could sit confidently alongside premium skincare while maintaining trust and authority. At the same time, the brief called for a vibrant and distinctive visual identity that would stand out in a highly competitive, social-first landscape.

This required a complete rethinking of how the brand was structured, expressed and experienced across every touchpoint.

The visual identity was designed to elevate OPTY.NC into a premium, design-led beauty space while retaining a sense of clarity and function.

A distinctive colour palette—balancing ochres, botanicals and mineral tones—draws from both nature and science, reinforcing the brand’s inside-out philosophy. Typography combines expressive character with clinical precision, allowing the brand to move fluidly between editorial storytelling and product communication.
At the centre of the system is the “Optimiser” device—a fluid, organic brandmark used to differentiate products and create a cohesive visual language across the range.

Imagery direction balances clean beauty—dewy “skin-first” photography, editorial, expressive compositions, with clear, functional product presentation.
Positioned as an inclusive and accessible brand, we created an extensive photograph library showing age, race and gender diversity.

The result is a brand world that feels modern, confident and distinctive, while remaining grounded in performance and credibility.

We developed comprehensive brand guidelines to ensure consistency across every touchpoint, including: brand positioning, verbal identity, logo usage and typography system, colour palette, packaging, photography and video direction, social media visual guidelines, and retail point of sale applications.

Packaging was approached as a critical brand touchpoint—designed not only to communicate, but to be physically experienced. Tactile finishes were used deliberately to enhance perception, with material contrast and surface detail creating a more memorable and engaging interaction at first touch.

Foils and metallic substrates were introduced to express the idea of inner glow—a visual cue grounded in the brand’s inside-out philosophy.

For the stand-up pouches, selected for their ability to preserve product integrity, we developed a custom print technique to reveal the metallic aluminium substrate in controlled areas.

By printing a white base layer and knocking back the Optimiser graphic, the foil subtly emerges through the surface—creating a soft, luminous effect that shifts with light.

The result is a finish that feels refined and considered—elevating the product beyond conventional supplement packaging.

Brand Experience:
A CONNECTED SYSTEM, FROM SCREEN TO SHELF TO CLINIC

OPTY.NC was designed as a unified brand experience—operating seamlessly across advertising, social media, retail and professional environments.

From campaign messaging and social content to packaging and practitioner training, each touchpoint reinforces the same core idea: wellness from the inside out.

The system enables the brand to move fluidly between contexts—maintaining clarity for consumers, while supporting credibility and confidence within clinical settings.

The result is a brand that feels consistent, considered and complete—where every interaction strengthens understanding and trust.
