Alec’s Ice Cream
Happy Gut. Happy Planet.
What would happen if ice cream loved the planet as much as we do? Enter Alec’s organic pasture-raised ice cream. Slow-whipped and ultra creamy using regeneratively farmed A2 dairy – it’s better for your stomach and the planet. Regenerative farming removes CO2 from the atmosphere for brighter, tastier tomorrows. So for the love of the planet, eat up.

Set out to become a leader in super-premium ice cream by redefining expectations on taste & texture, integrity of ingredients, and how ice cream should leave you feeling.
Complex story - where and how to communicate and educate consumers about benefits, mission, and brand vision? How can we communicate realness while being supernatural (bringing strategy & RTBs to life)?
With tons of other brands offering craft quality ice cream, how do we stand out on the shelf amongst the considerable competition behind those icy glass doors?

By elevating Alec's communication with photography (taste & texture), color, and a compelling narrative, the brand was better positioned to deliver on why they are indeed better tasting and better for the planet.
Creating an imaginative world that portrays the planet and cow as companions piques curiosity and invites one to learn more about the product's regenerative qualities. The playful illustrations show tone while highlighting the importance and benefits of regenerative farming practices. The layering of artfully stylized food photography creates a rich sense of indulgence to pay homage to the ice cream's premium quality and ingredients.
With solid brand blocking and a newly crafted logo, the prominent hierarchy on the pack with flavor and color cues make Alec's easily stand out while offering an emotional connection to the target audience.
