Out-of-the-box brand strategy.
Luxury bed maker, Harrison Spinks, chose to work with Cool Blue to launch its first bed-in-a -box product, herdysleep.
A collaboration with the much-loved Lake District brand, herdy, the new mattress combined traditional bed-making techniques with clever technology and a core ingredient: Herdwick wool. Sourced from Cumbrian farmers who were paid above market rate, every herdysleep mattress contained at least one fleece.
Cool Blue was enlisted to help launch herdysleep, crafting an identity for the brand and introducing it to consumers via the press and social media.
We devised a strategy that focused on the brand’s luxury credentials, targeting customers at the higher end of the market with aspirational imagery and beautifully crafted copy, which brought together each strand of the story.

We created stand-out lifestyle and brand photography, which positioned the product as a luxury item, whilst nodding to themes of craftsmanship and countryside.
One of our central assets was a brand book, which told the story of herdysleep across 24 beautifully designed pages.
We invited ten leading editors from key titles, such as The Telegraph and ELLE Decoration, to spend the night on a herdysleep mattress at the 5-star London Edition Hotel
