Research, Positioning & Communication

Fabula Branding conducted in-depth research on consumers, competitors, and market trends. Based on this data, the agency developed brand positioning, communication strategy, and identity to systematize Holistica’s core message. Holistica’s philosophy is rooted in a balance between ancient holistic traditions and modern medical knowledge. The school takes a rational and accessible approach to well-being, making mindful nutrition and self-care simple, effective, and attainable for everyone. The brand’s tone of voice is built on motivation, understanding, openness, and warmth, ensuring that Holistica speaks to its audience in an inviting and encouraging way.
