In doing so, we created at Brandcelona Healthcare a new brand design, naming, visual identity, digital communication, and retail experience for ‘El Bierzo a Bocados’.
El Bierzo A Bocados
by Marta Rodríguez Tato
A nutritional culture movement that embraces its community and promotes a healthy lifestyle rooted in the local landscape.
‘El Bierzo a Bocados’ was founded by the female entrepreneur and pharmacist Marta Rodríguez Tato with a bold vision: help customers to discover new nutritional worlds, with pride from El Bierzo.
With ‘bercian’ roots and a cult-like following, ‘El Bierzo a Bocados’ founder Marta Rodríguez Tato, had eyes on expanding its nutritional culture throughout Spain. After opening a strategical healthy corner in her own pharmacy, the renowned Farmacia El Bierzo, the next step will be corner locations strategically around iconic places in the region. But first, she needed a brand and user experience that would bring ‘El Bierzo a Bocados’ to life for a new audience. We partnered with her to evolve their beloved brand and brew a whole unique brand experience that would set ‘El Bierzo a Bocados’ apart in a saturated nutritional pharmacist landscape.
For ‘El Bierzo a Bocados’ to be successful, we needed to capture the true essence of Marta Rodríguez Tato, and the ethos that she has cultivated: El Bierzo is more than just a geographical location. El Bierzo is a story of care, tenacity, and boldness.
We began crafting the brand’s strategy through this ethos, positioning El Bierzo as the central axis for the spirit, amplifying and unleashing that beauty, wellness and healthcare voice already inside all of us, to connect with all the community with this sensibility. We then balanced that spirit with expertise, emphasising El Bierzo´s ability to deliver its awesome tastes with genuine character.
The new visual universe is designed to be eye-catching and attractive, a fresh departure from the minimal aesthetic that’s now commonplace. The brand voice, inspired by the brand purpose, is energetic, direct, clever and infuses these own-able characteristics across the spectrum of its digital communications. Packaging and digital knowledge experiences that say everything with a reliable message, honesty and energy to each moment.
Then, leaning on a history of designing transformative sensorial experiences, we went to work bringing ‘El Bierzo a Bocados’ brand to life with a distinct and reliable healthy corner design that played up sophisticated healthcare cues. The user’s experience is thoughtfully designed to elevate human connection while serving customers quickly with their recognisable organic products. And, to further enhance the in-store offering, we developed a wellness partner strategy that features items sourced from other local, female-owned businesses.
To drive digital differentiation for ‘El Bierzo a Bocados’, we designed a comprehensive digital strategy, identifying a path forward for how the brand could stand out against its competitors. This included a digital touchpoint analysis to determine where space existed in the market and developing a roadmap the brand could take to address it. We designed a robust ‘El Bierzo a Bocados’ digital presence on developing an attractive digital interface for digital commuinication.
Since its new branding, Farmacia El Bierzo has started ‘El Viaje de Egeria’, Marta Rodriguez Tato’s personal branding and partnering again with Brandcelona® Healthcare launches ‘El Bierzo a Bocados’ with a 360 degree nutritional brand experience. With its new brand, a retail presence defined by a bold design and signature in-pharmacy touch points, and growing digital presence, Marta Rodriguez Tato is poised to grow its footprint and pharmaceutical attention through all Spain, from her beloved El Bierzo.
