Fair Trade Certified

Over the last three decades, Fair Trade USA pioneered conscious consumerism. But in a more crowded market filled with new labels, featuring everything from non-GMO to gluten-free, they were having trouble standing out.

I led the agency team that transformed Fair Trade's approach to consumer activation — positioning the brand as less of an altruistic 'sacrifice' and instead as a consumer-first affirmation (as seen in this redesign of their website).
