ZESA
Branding where Ancient Meets Modern
The Challenge
A market is emerging: people with the patience and concentration of yogis and a gym-rats desire to achieve bodily perfection. Fitness expert Shanti Rainey created a revolutionary product and approach to full-body conditioning to serve this audience. At the system’s core is a fitness program that leverages an unstable workout surface. This new philosophy and products needed a brand to tell its story.
The Solution
The name for the brand became ZeSa, which means “balance,” supporting the foundation of deriving strength from training in unstable environments. Following that cue, a logo and comprehensive brand identity system was created to be strong but flexible and applied to products, training programming, marketing materials, and the fitness studio environment.
Testimonial
The Sussner team helped me crystallize and bring my ideas to life. People are amazed and caught off guard by the beauty and thoughtfulness of ZeSa, from the branding and product design to the studio space and everywhere in between.
