Clarifying the consumer and early stage brand strategy for a modern daily immunity startup.
The Challenge
Anomaly was preparing to launch into a crowded immunity and wellness category filled with complex routines and unclear messaging. As a new brand, the team needed sharper clarity around who they were building for, how the brand would show up culturally, and which marketing strategies would matter most early on.
The priority was to establish a strong strategic foundation that could support launch execution and scale over time—without overextending or losing focus.
Our Approach
We partnered with the founder and team as a strategic brand and marketing lead—bringing clarity across consumer definition, partnership strategy, and early creative direction.
Our work focused on:
Clearly defining core and adjacent consumer audiences
Establishing marketing and partnership strategies aligned to brand goals
Providing creative oversight to ensure consistency and credibility at launch
