Orchid Holistic Search

The Challenge

Bringing Costa Rica magic to executive search in the natural products industry

Orchid Holistic Search, founded by SMaCk Collective dear friends living in Costa Rica, needed a brand refresh that would capture both the energy of their tropical lifestyle and the sophistication required for executive-level placements in the natural products industry.

The challenge: create a brand identity that felt both magical and professional, reflecting their "joyful hiring" approach while establishing credibility in the competitive executive search market.
