Refreshing a brand to tap into consumers
Cyclopure wants to make your tap water drinkable again. Utilizing novel science (corn, actually) to remove nasty “forever-chemicals” now found in our water supply, the growing company was ready to remove the lab coat and goggles that defined their early B2B approach as it prepared to capture the consumer market.

Challenges
With first and second round funding in hand, and preparing to launch its first consumer-facing product, Cyclopure knew that its existing brand was overly functional and based on tech speak. The brand was directed at its early audience of scientists and other B2B friends, but needed to evolve to connect with its new consumer audience.
Additionally, the industry was (literally) watered down with very few stand-out brands. Cyclopure did not want to get lost in a sea of water brand sameness.
Solution
With a mission to make water safe for everyone, everywhere using breakthrough purification technologies, we wanted to see the brand express this human vision and identity throughout the company’s communications.
We repositioned the brand from science and tech to consumer health with sustainability at the forefront. The new Cyclopure identity leads with optimism and a focus on the health, environmental, and economic benefits enabled by pure water. So, while the company is tackling an issue of global importance with seriously complex science, the overall tone speaks to real people to address concerns and create trust in its solutions.
