Repositioning Herbeus Greens

Repositioning Herbeus Greens

Introduction

Introduction

This is not a story about greens. It's a story about chefs, about ambition, and about the invisible thread that connects excellence from field to fork. Herbeus Greens is entering one of the most demanding markets: high-end gastronomy. In partnership with agency Jakob & Josef and performance partner H1gh, we developed a holistic strategy to position Herbeus as more than a product — as a culinary movement rooted in perfection. Our work spanned Emotional Mining, persona development, campaign creation and brand architecture. The result: A multi-phase campaign launching in April 2025 with a bold, cross-media strategy that challenges conventions, earns credibility, and builds lasting relevance.

Challenges

Herbeus Greens recognized the challenge: how do you become not just a supplier, but a brand chefs feel connected to emotionally, rationally, and creatively?

The culinary world, especially in fine dining and catering, is under enormous pressure: creativity, consistency, and perfection are expected at all times — with ever-limited resources. At the same time, chefs face untrustworthy supply chains, poor product availability, and a lack of inspiring ingredients. Existing suppliers offer little in terms of innovation, emotion, or partnership. Herbeus Greens recognized the challenge: how do you become not just a supplier, but a brand chefs feel connected to — emotionally, rationally, and creatively?

Solutions & Concept

With Emotional Mining we defined core emotions, crafted campaign pillars ("Band of Perfection" and "Stage of Perfection"), and built a multi-channel ecosystem for brand communication.

We conducted in-depth research on chefs' emotional and practical needs — from ambition to frustration, from prestige to efficiency. Through advanced Emotional Mining and Jobs-to-Be-Done modeling, we identified culinary personas and use-case clusters (Fine Dining, Catering, Traditional, Wholesale). We defined core emotions, crafted campaign pillars ("Band of Perfection" and "Stage of Perfection"), and built a multi-channel ecosystem for brand communication. Perfection is not a goal — it’s a shared journey. Herbeus Greens creates a symbolic and practical alliance between growers, chefs, wholesalers, and guests. The "Band of Perfection" represents a shared standard of excellence — from sustainable production to perfect presentation.
