In the world of health and wellness, Viridian Nutrition has long stood for integrity, ethics and expertly formulated supplements. But even the strongest foundations can benefit from renewed structure — especially when scale and complexity make navigation challenging. With over 240 individual products, multiple customer need states and a reputation for quality, Viridian approached us with a clear goal:
Create clarity from complexity — for retailers, for consumers and for the business itself.

Here’s how we partnered with Viridian to reimagine its product range architecture, communications and customer journey.

The challenge: Great products but difficult to navigate

With a diverse catalogue of supplements covering everything from daily multivitamins to highly specialised herbal formulas, Viridian had outgrown the traditional “category or condition” structure that many supplement brands rely on.

Without a clear framework, the impact was widespread:

  • Retailers struggled to range and merchandise effectively

  • Consumers found it difficult to build a protocol or even shop the range

  • Sales teams lacked clarity when presenting the brand to new stores

  • Product development lacked visibility on gaps and opportunities

The brief was to create a product architecture and customer journey framework that delivers clarity, facilitates growth and stays true to Viridian’s purpose-driven ethos.

The objective: Strategic simplicity

Our work began by addressing a critical question:
How do we help people buy a protocol not just a product?

This meant developing a range architecture that would:

  • Organise products around customer need states rather than just ingredients or demographics

  • Make it easier for consumers to self-select in-store and online

  • Help retailers stock a wider and more effective selection of products

  • Support new product development by revealing gaps and over-saturation

  • Drive stronger communication, marketing and sales strategies

Strategic impacts across the business

The new range architecture that came out of this process wasn’t just a tidy framework — it’s a strategic tool that’s transforming how Viridian operates.

Product & Technical Strategy

  • Highlighted gaps in the range particularly within key customer need states

  • Identified where there were reformulation or product development requirements in the range.

  • Identified hidden opportunities within the current range that could be exploited through product repositioning.

Sales Strategy

  • Created clear guidance on how to range products in different retail formats

  • Enabled stores to merchandise protocols, not just stock products.

  • Helped sales teams encourage broader listings across the full product range.

  • Informed differentiated sales targets on different product categories giving a more sophisticated view of sales performance.

Marketing Strategy

  • Developed greater clarity for broad brand communication.

  • Identified potential  high-impact efficacy messaging for customer recruitment.

  • Developed merchandising and online strategies to help customers build full protocols.

  • Provided a content framework for educational campaigns, POS, and website UX.

Looking ahead

This is just the beginning. With a structured range in place, Viridian can now explore new retail formats, test customer journeys online, and launch NPD with greater clarity and impact.

And more importantly — customers, whether first-timers or loyal fans, can now discover the right products more intuitively, build personalised protocols and continue to trust that Viridian meets their needs, naturally.

In an industry where knowledge is power, the goal shouldn’t be to simplify the science — but to simplify the experience. Through our work with Viridian, we’ve helped take a vast, trusted range and make it work harder, smarter and more visibly for everyone — from retailer to consumer.
