2021

Heartland Catfish Company is a major player in the U.S. seafood industry, known for its commitment to quality, innovation, and family values. To celebrate the company’s 25th anniversary, the brand needed a milestone story that honored its roots while reinforcing the values that continue to guide its growth.

My work focused on creating a commemorative anniversary identity and video that spotlighted the farm, family legacy, people, and brand story behind Heartland Catfish.

The Challenge

The anniversary needed to feel celebratory without becoming overly promotional. Heartland Catfish has a strong story rooted in family, farming, quality, and community, so the creative needed to feel authentic, grounded, and emotionally connected to the brand.

The challenge was to bring that story to life in a way that honored the company’s history while supporting its continued visibility in retail and consumer markets.

Execution

I developed anniversary creative that combined brand storytelling, motion, and campaign design. The commemorative logo gave the milestone a distinct visual marker, while the anniversary video brought the company’s story to life through footage of the farm, family legacy, operations, and values behind the brand.

The video was designed to feel warm, credible, and consumer-facing, helping audiences connect with Heartland Catfish beyond the product itself. The final piece supported the brand’s broader marketing efforts by reinforcing the people, care, and story behind its growth.

  • Designed a commemorative 25th anniversary logo.

Results

Together, the work elevated the brand beyond product promotion, helping audiences connect with the people and purpose behind Heartland Catfish.
