Veganact: The meat-less strategy that meat-eaters envy!
Veganact, a company specializing in plant-based meat alternatives, reached out to us with the goal of enhancing its brand image as a delicious, health-conscious and hassle-free vegan option and increasing followers, and fostering higher engagement within our specific target audiences.
I was in charge of developing Veganact's fresh visual identity, collaborating closely with the design team. Additionally, I was responsible for devising the content concepts and handling copy & creative direction, in line with the established social media strategy.

THE OBJECTIVES
-
Increase post engagement.
-
Create content relevant to Vegetarians, Vegans & Flexitarians, aged 18-35.
-
Expand our audience to include Greek people that fast — these individuals lean towards an older and more traditional demographic.
-
Increase following with a goal of 8k on Instagram & 25k Facebook followers within a one-year timeframe.
THE CHALLENGES
-
Plant-based products are often perceived as unhealthily processed and lacking in taste. This stereotype is also reinforced by Mediterranean dietary habits, as a significant number of Greek vegans opt for traditional legume and vegetable-based recipes over meatless alternatives.
-
Veganact faces direct competition from both international meatless product corporations and well-established Greek brands offering plant-based alternatives.
-
In Greece, veganism is often depicted in a way that fosters adverse and hostile attitudes towards the lifestyle.
-
Our budget is so tight, it's practically doing the limbo dance. Like, we’re talking SUPER limited.
