about the project
Highlighting nature’s materials, Faithful Roots designs and produces furniture pieces in Los Angeles with a signature look that’s equal parts effortless and distinct. The brand came to us in need of a voice strategy, messaging guidelines, and descriptions for its furniture collection, and well-curated art and home products to complement its newly refreshed visual identity. After creating a voice and tone strategy to help them speak to both interior designers and an audience of everyday shoppers with a love of interiors themselves, we created understated yet assured product descriptions that put the details of their pieces center stage. With a touch of personification in how we describe each piece, the goal was to invite readers to notice the nuances of wood, stone, and other natural materials while giving them room to imagine them sharing space with other design styles and items.

Diana is a wonderful collaborator! She was able to immerse herself into our brand quite quickly and demonstrated a deep understanding of where we were at and what the opportunities were. She also presented clear and helpful rationale for each round of work she presented. The quality and creativity of her work are high and elevate our brand storytelling.

about the project
As a New York Times Bestseller for her cookbooks and brand, The Defined Dish, Alex Snodgrass and her team were in the stage of every product development’s most pressing task — finding a name. Partnering with Tastebuds, we researched, brainstormed, and worked with the greater team to find name options for Alex’s wholesome dressings. We aimed to find a brand name that felt welcoming, paired well with the Defined Dish brand, and ultimately would help the brand become a pantry staple for quick, healthy meals that don’t sacrifice flavor. Inspired by meal terms, neighborly sayings, and phrases that had a nod to being a companion, Side Dish was the option that rose to the top and became the name we compared all other ideas to, a sure sign that we found something irresistible.

about the project
With a sharp internal compass for equity, justice, and abundant living for everyone, social impact consultancy Interplay Collective was going through a rebrand to help founder Camille Trummer present her insights and services in a way that genuinely displayed the interconnected nature of her approach. We worked with Odd Notion to deliver a voice strategy, messaging guidelines, and website copywriting. At the core of the brand’s vision and method is a collective effort between the pillars of culture to shape the future positively. We created the later trademarked “Tomorrow is made together” tagline to express the brand’s North Star. With Interplay’s primary audiences of business, government, non-profits, and community organizations, we wanted clarity, enthusiasm, and imagination to be felt through the copy — ensuring we speak their language without dimming the brand's optimistic and fervent energy.

about the project
Co-founders and worship pastors Ryan and Joel were looking for a way to bring their Bible-listening app newfound life through their rebrand. And when it came to the needed voice strategy and website copy, we leaned on the meditative and subtly poetic nature of the app’s feel for the voice and messaging. Balancing metaphorical writing with easy-to-follow descriptions of the app’s function, we created copy that helped refine and clarify the Verses’ mission to make Bible reading a multi-sensory experience, as well as a descriptive tagline for the brand.

Thank you for your work on the copy. (It was) so helpful in giving us direction for the language and I’m so happy with ‘The Melody of God’s Word’, so good!
