MEANING

Articles of history, science, curious facts, and profiles on those working with our food systems introduce education in a way that is relatable, and inspiring and teaches us where our food comes from, how it gets to us, and the choices we can make.
HOW IT’S MADE
Except for an occasional guest contributor, Honest Magazine’s content is created, produced, and published by Shannon Douglas. With a home base in a small mountain town outside of Seattle, the magazine is printed in the United States and shipped to readers worldwide.
Brand Work
Brand Essence - a focused strategy engagement designed to uncover what is fundamentally true about your brand and distill it into a clear, usable center. The result is a concise articulation of your brand’s essence, defining qualities, and strategic direction—something you can return to as you shape messaging, creative decisions, growth, and future work.
Brand Identity - a defined strategic identity engagement that translates what is essential about your brand into the systems, language, and creative guidance that shape how it communicates and evolves. You leave with a clear Creative Constitution for future messaging, campaigns, products, partnerships, and creative work—so new ideas can grow from the same coherent center.
