Cool Farm

Three workshops and a dozen member interviews that gave the brand a place to stand.

We started inside the team with workshops on purpose and theory of change, member needs, and where Cool Farm sits against the alternatives. Eight to twelve interviews with members then tested what the team believed about why people join, stay and recommend. The findings became a discovery report, a clearer position, and a growth plan with a 24-month roadmap and three playbooks the team runs day to day.

  • Purpose, empathy mapping and positioning workshops
  • 8–12 member interviews and a discovery report
  • Positioning and messaging direction
  • Growth strategy, 24-month roadmap and playbooks
