About

We're experts in food
and drink branding

Since The Collaborators was founded in 2008, we’ve honed our craft working with diverse food and drink businesses, from global brands through to startups. It means we’re tuned to the trends and dynamics of the industry, and our insight comes from a place of real understanding.

We build Brand EQuity™

Just as emotional intelligence, also known as EQ, enriches personal relationships, it can also help brands be more effective in the way they engage with their audience.

A global tracking study has proven that brands with high Brand EQ consistently and significantly outperform those with lower Brand EQ.

Put simply, brands that use empathy and emotion to guide behaviour are more successful.

Brand EQ = Brand EQuity™

We are Collaborators

It’ll come as no surprise that we take a collaborative approach. Your success is our success so you can expect a true partnership built on empathy and integrity.
