01 · The brief

Rebranding for National Appeal and Establishing an Online Presence

Happy Mushroom Co. operates in beauty, health & wellness · retail & lifestyle — a category that demands its own kind of attention from the brand and the buyer journey both. The work that got the company this far had earned its market share. The brand and digital surface area weren’t carrying the weight at the same level the rest of the operation was.

Biggest Little Mushrooms was primed for expansion after years of success selling their mushroom tinctures at farmers markets in Reno, Nevada. They wanted to be seen as a national brand, and they thought their Reno-inspired name was holding them back. In order to reach their goal of national expansion they needed a new name, packaging and brand identity to support it.

In addition, as an in-person seller, they’d need an online presence to make the purchasing process easier and to increase their chances of connecting with new customers.

The brief was a system rebuild — the kind of work captured in our master frame: Developing a Comprehensive Brand and E-commerce Platform. Brand strategy, identity refresh, customer-facing experience design, and the post-launch measurement framework that lets the in-house team extend the work without us in the room.

02 · The approach

Pillar 02

Packaging Design

Selling Through Packaging Our packaging solutions sought to differentiate them from competitors.

Pillar 03

E-commerce Website

Launching an Online Presence Commence Studio built a comprehensive e-commerce website using the Shopify Basic platform with the Praise theme.

Pillar 04

Shopify POS Integration

Seamless In-Person and Online Sales We integrated Shopify POS to ensure that data from in-person sales at pop-up markets is tracked in one place along with online sales.

Pillar 05

Editorial-led commerce that earns the price tag.

PDPs lead with story, ingredient context, and ritual photography before the spec table. The category-required consideration time pays off in conversion.

Subscription + replenishment as the customer relationship.
