Ushering in a new era of messy wellness with Well+Good

The challenge:

Under new leadership, Well+Good sought to differentiate itself from the wider wellness media landscape with a fresh approach that better captured the state of wellness for a new year.

In a sea of “beige wellness,” riddled with pristine creative and exclusionary norms, Well+Good needed a bolder brand voice to usher in a new era of wellness—one that invited individuals from all walks of life to see themselves reflected in the journey.

The approach:

Recognizing that the 2010s vision of wellness was dead, I introduced the concept of the “messification of wellness” as a core narrative for editorial content and partner engagement—informing a refreshed brand identity, social presence and programming strategy for Well+Good.

This approach culminated in the launch of Well/Mess, a new year wellness tentpole celebrating the non-linear journey to feeling good—providing actionable content across fitness, mindfulness, and nutrition that redefined wellness as approachable, authentic, and messy.

The results:

Well+Good named 2024 Webby Award winner for Best Social.

Well+Good included in Pinterest’s Inclusive Partner Network for 2024.

Humm Kombucha secured as the official launch sponsor of Well/Mess.
