For Health-Conscious Families
KAL Nutrition, a trusted supplement brand since 1932, sought to revitalize its identity to resonate with today’s health-conscious families. The challenge was to differentiate KAL in a crowded wellness market by transforming its clinical, outdated image into one that felt warm, engaging, and inspiring. The goal was to appeal to adults aged 30-45, both domestically and internationally, while honoring KAL’s 90-year heritage and laying the foundation for long-term growth.

A Nostalgic-Modern Brand Refresh
Extensive research identified a core audience: adults aged 30-45 prioritizing active well-being for themselves and their loved ones. This insight paved the way for a creative approach that would resonate deeply. Leveraging a "retro-modern" aesthetic, KAL embraced its rich heritage while simultaneously feeling fresh and relevant. This unique positioning set them apart in a crowded market, offering a nostalgic charm intertwined with contemporary appeal.

The goal: to inspire not just supplement purchases, but a genuine embrace of a healthy living philosophy, seamlessly integrated into family life.
