JACOB BRAND GUIDELINES — CREATOR REFERENCE DOCUMENT

Use this document as a comprehensive reference for creating brand-aligned content for Jacob. Everything below represents the brand's identity, voice, visual direction, product details, and positioning. Follow these guidelines closely when producing any content — copy, visuals, video, social, partnerships, or campaigns.


BRAND OVERVIEW

Jacob is a premium protein bar brand. The website is eatjacob.com. Jacob currently sells three flavors of protein bars — Vanilla, Chocolate, and Berry — plus a Variety Pack. The bars are available direct-to-consumer, on Amazon, and in retail stores including a 477-store Sprouts Farmers Market launch.

Jacob is not a wellness brand. Jacob is a food brand that happens to make food that's good for you.


BRAND POSITIONING

The Core Insight

People are exhausted by wellness culture. The endless contradictory advice, the optimization theater, the performative health signaling — it's made eating well feel like a full-time job. People don't want another brand lecturing them about "fueling their potential." They want to eat something good and get on with their lives.

What Jacob Represents

Jacob represents "post-optimization adulthood." It's for people who did the research, made their choices, and moved on. Who care about health the way they care about their credit score — they've handled it, they check in occasionally, but it's not a personality.
