The Brief
The product had momentum but there was a problem. The visual system lacked ownability, the tone was inconsistent, and the brand didn’t reflect the feel-good promise of the product. With a growing customer base, agency support, and a push into new retail channels, Happy Being needed a complete brand evolution. One that was built to perform, connect, and unlock the next phase of growth.
Happy Being was growing fast. The number one white tea on Amazon, over 1.3 million cans sold in 2025, and $60m projected revenue in 2028. Doctor-developed and packed with clinical ingredients, it plays in the fastest-growing corner of the non-alcoholic drinks market: functional, low-sugar beverages, forecast to top $60bn globally by 2030. With a still and sparkling offer alongside mass premium appeal, there's an opportunity to scale nationally, expand into retail, and lead the category in credible, refreshingly good wellness.
The Solution
We repositioned Happy Being as a joyful, longevity-led brand that makes daily wellness simple, delicious, and convenient. Through strategy, identity, packaging and digital design, we built a system that’s distinctive, scalable, and grounded in real benefit. From collaborative workshops to in-depth consumer testing, every element was crafted to drive clarity and connection — visually, verbally, and commercially. The result is a brand that blends medical credibility with the emotional uplift of great taste. It turns a high-performing product into a high-performing brand.

Is that a smile in your descender or are you just pleased to see me?
Longevity, served daily
Tried, tested and tastefully tweaked
Still cans feel calm and pure, with bright white space and crisp hierarchy. Sparkling cans shimmer with frosted bubble texture and bare aluminium, adding energy without clutter. Each can tells its story instantly — natural hero fruit, clean spacious layout, and a quietly confident tone. Even the fruit imagery was engineered to print beautifully, using a halftone effect that balances shelf standout with natural realism and manufacturing constraints.
Smart mouth
Gonna make you feel good
Ritual, in the right light
From startup energy to scale-up clarity
“The experience of working with Better was thoughtful and collaborative from start to finish. They spent the time to truly understand the product and the community behind it, which made the outcome feel true to who we are.”
