Bebe Mae is a Dunedin-based jeweller who walks a line between playfulness and refinement. She freely follows her inspirations to make pieces that add a unique touch to everyday style. After building her business and stocking her work at several well-known boutiques, she wanted to build a recognisable brand and increase sales on her own website.

Emily defined Bebe Mae’s essence and goals, analysed her target audience, and crafted her brand messaging. This included key phrases to communicate the brand’s edge in the market, as well as storytelling suggestions to convey its emotional narrative. Next, Emily provided a customer journey with recommendations to increase engagement and conversions.

The ‘B’ logo is based on English calligraphy from the 17th and 18th centuries – a time when many iconic jewellery styles also originated. Just as Bebe Mae experiments with traditional motifs, Emily put a new spin on the calligraphic ‘B’. Against a soft colour palette, her visual identity is a sophisticated backdrop for eccentric work.
