A Brand Standards Guide to develop a cohesive brand in all mediums
Hi Friend! We are KIP&CO™ KIP&CO™ is a monthly subscription company that delivers a curated selection of supplements for your dog. We strive to be more than the average dog supplement brands. We hope to provide a community for those choosing to put their dog’s health first. The desire is for this community to provide their dogs with a healthy lifestyle with our organic, curated supplements. Kim Parker started this company after struggling to find quality, organic supplements in the stores. She wanted to give her families dog, Kipper, exactly what he needed, so she decided to develop the brand KIP&CO™. Pictured is Kim Parker’s youngest daughter, Shelby, with their dog Kipper.

Brand Persona
A Brand Standards Guide to develop a cohesive brand in all mediums
We are thoughful, purposeful, and hardworking Our culture turned inward creates our product; our culture turned outward creates our brand. Our brand is a reflection of who we are as a company and what we represent in the world of a dog’s health. If nothing else, our outward-facing brand should represent the best of what we bring to work as colleagues at this company. Thoughtful, purposeful, health-centered, and hardworking. We demonstrate our commitment to being customercentric by placing those dog loving humans at the center of all communication, not ourselves.

Tone of Voice
A Brand Standards Guide to develop a cohesive brand in all mediums
We are conversational, friendly, and helpful Our tone of voice provides a set of core elements to define quality writing across all touchpoints, as well as, supporting elements to convey the best of our brand personality to the world. We are characterful. But we never let character overwhelm content. What we have to say is infinitely more important than being admired for the way we say it. We are considerate and intentional with the words we use. We recognize and appreciate the power of language, and use it with eloquence and elegance (while never getting carries away with ourselves).

Outer Side Panels Pattern Design & Placement The outer facing panels are set in KIP&CO™’s brown with an overlay pattern in the cream. The patter is developed from the word “supplements” in brail. The pattern goes as follows: supplements, supplements reversed, supplements, supplements reversed. The pattern should repeat as necessary. When needing more than one line offset the pattern to flow as supplements reversed, supplements, supplements reversed, supplements.
Brail for: Supplements
