Full Sleep

Our collaboration with Full Sleep involved developing a creative and messaging strategy to position them effectively in a tech-saturated market. We conducted extensive research, including stakeholder interviews, brand audits, user interviews, psychographic research, and competitive analysis, resulting in a consolidated creative strategy, positioning, and product communication approach. Working closely with Full Sleep during this pivotal stage allowed us to seamlessly integrate and represent the strategy in their brand identity.

Strategy Findings

Live fuller days with restful nights — Our brand promise, shaped by the psychographic insight: sleep isn't complicated; people are. Full Sleep focuses on inputs, not just the end state, emphasizing what keeps you up rather than the sleep itself. We focus on the how, not what. The poetic aspect of this line tugs on this ‘chicken or the egg’ concept, prompting consumers to think about which one comes first, the relationship between the two, and how ‘with’ implies a dependency on one another. Our consumer-facing promise guides the optimistic direction and tone for our brand identity.

Contextualizing our technology/science— Recognizing that Full Sleep is going to operate in a market overly fixated on innovation and tracking accuracy, amid a technological boom across industries, we devised an approach to distinguish us from the crowded ‘sleep tracking’ space. Many companies in this space emphasize tracking technology as 'personalization'—the gathering of data. We decided to shift our focus one level up, emphasizing the utilization of data and its potential impact for truly personalized results.

Finding a focused way in— Full Sleep, a sleep science company, cuts through the clutter of a crowded sleep health industry. Studying over 50 companies, we pinpointed language, messaging, and positioning disparities regarding 'treatment', 'subscription', and 'program'. This led us to position Full Sleep as an at-home program using proven behavioral therapy, prioritizing medical credibility over consumer-friendly trackers. We also crafted distinct brand voices for D2C and B2C, acknowledging the varied tonalities required for the medical and consumer realms.

Our brand identity, inspired by the promise "Live fuller days with restful nights," focuses visually on the 'day,' a departure from the common night-centric approach in the sleep industry.

The intentional singularity and simplicity of the brand identity create a clutter-free experience, catering to accessibility needs, especially for an older demographic.

The use of one font throughout the system, and the logomark being set in the same manner emphasizes our decluttered approach to branding as well as sets the tone for a ‘program’ vs. a static brand application.

We maintain a singular approach in our colour palette, opting for a bright, authoritative blue associated with the 'day'. Supplementary gradient swatches represent different times of the day, enhancing time understanding throughout the experience.

Extending this to our content and art direction, we highlight calming and scientific images, typically close-up, intentionally cropped compositions of nuanced moments. This ensures easy continuity of execution for Full Sleep internally to maintain the integrity of the look and feel.


CONTENT ORGANIZATION SYSTEM

Animation is a core element to the new brand identity, providing a guiding and friendly tone within the digital product, and to intentionally offset the more scientific simplicity of other brand elements.

Adopting a design-led utilitarian approach to information display, our brand identity fluidly adapts to be applied to the digital platform, prioritizing universal design, clarity and ease of use.
