Orange County CBD
Who is Orange County CBD?
Based in my Liverpool hometown, Orange County CBD is one of the world’s most renowned CBD brands. They might have only been unleashed onto the scene in 2019, but they’ve won more awards than any other CBD brand on the planet - and are getting bigger and better every day.
They manufacture CBD oil, gummies, supplements, vapes and skincare for their growing community of die-hard CBD fans.

Building the brand
I did things a bit differently with Orange County. The business’ products come from the hemp farms in California, but they’re local to me. So, I worked from their office with the team, learning about CBD from the inside and collab-ing in person.
(I also got to steal their tea and doughnuts, and chill out with CBD gummies while I wrote some words.)
The brand’s founder approached me during early 2022. They were smashing it in terms of growth, but their copy was feeling a bit Guardian-esque. CBD is a young, fun and exciting industry. They needed to reflect that through copy that set them apart from the rest.
Here's how we made it happen.
Before any words were written, I created the new OC voice
By defining who Orange County is, we could define how they would sound.
The brand voice development process encompassed:
- Brand values
- Customer personas
- Customer problems & goals
- Tone of voice pillars
- Taglines
I then turned the whole thing into a downloadable Brand Book that anyone working on Orange County’s marketing material could use to ensure a consistent tone of voice.
Taglines & headlines
We needed taglines. Stuff that would encapsulate the essence of the brand and could be used across products, the website, social media, posters and billboards.
