We specialise in food, drink and lifestyle brands. There’s something tangible, real, and human about products people pick up with their hands and adopt into their homes.
Clients come to us to get listings, or investments for brand-new launches, rebrands or small tweaks to open up to new audiences and evolve with changing times.

Our 'mini'festo
At Naked Ape Brands, we cut through the noise to help brands do what really matters: connect. We believe great positioning starts with understanding people—what they need, want, and care about. From finding your human market fit to crafting a strategy that inspires action, we’re here to help you create a brand your audience won’t forget. No jargon, no fluff—just smart ideas that work.
Talk to us about:
Big ideas deserve better than vague branding. If you’re breaking new ground or connecting complex ideas with real people, we’re here for it. We don’t do guesswork. By digging into consumer behaviour and market trends, we create smart, strategic branding with real commercial punch. Whether it’s a bold product or a big idea, we’ll help you connect—and thrive. Most projects end as physical products, like packaging, but they all start with one thing: a powerful idea, done right.
Your brand’s name is the first impression, and your message is what keeps people listening. We make sure both hit the mark. From crafting names that stick in your audience’s mind to building messaging that actually means something, we bring clarity and purpose to your brand’s voice. It’s not about sounding clever for the sake of it—it’s about connecting with real people in a way they can’t ignore. With a blend of strategy, creativity, and a little bit of guts, we help your brand say what it needs to say—and say it right.
Your brand is more than a logo or flashy packaging. It’s the words, the tone, the symbols—the stuff that makes people care and act. Our team of designers, copywriters, illustrators, and strategists create brands that don’t just look good; they mean something. By digging deep into semiotics and storytelling, we craft designs that go beyond the surface. These are brands that don’t just win on the shelf—they win hearts and minds
A great brand doesn’t stop at a killer idea—it needs to live, breathe, and shout in the real world. That’s where we come in. We take your positioning, proposition, and human market fit and turn them into big, bold ideas that demand attention. From billboards to magazines, digital ads to OOH, we create campaigns that don’t just exist—they stick. Wherever your brand shows up, it’ll leave an impression. No boring templates, no half-hearted slogans—just smart, creative hooks that make people stop and care.
