Branding a global market-leading producer of sustainably sourced Cod

KIND embarked on a journey to create a brand that pays homage to the rich tapestry of the fishing heritage, craftsmanship, and sustainability intertwined with this delectable delicacy.

The name “Ode” is not merely a label but a heartfelt tribute to Cod—a homage to the coastal communities, the artistry involved, and the commitment to sustainable practices. In essence, it’s an “Ode to Excellence.”

“Ode” encapsulates the essence of the brand’s dedication and passion for quality. It serves as a beacon, a symbol of excellence that resonates from when the fish is harvested to its arrival at the consumer’s fork.

The tagline, “Ode to Excellence,” acts as a clarion call, signifying the brand’s unwavering commitment to delivering a product of unparalleled quality. It is a promise of excellence that echoes through every production stage, from the farm to fork.

Conceptual Framework: The choice of “Ode” as the brand name and incorporation of “Excellence” in the tagline reflects a profound dedication to honouring the fish and the entire ecosystem of craftsmanship, sustainability, and gastronomic pleasure.
