Case studies/Burkinature

How do you turn an exporter into a credible brand on European markets?

Case study: Burkinature

About Burkinature

Burkinature is a family business that develops and exports organic and fair-trade agricultural produce from Burkina Faso to Europe: dried mangoes, hibiscus, sesame. Real know-how, a real mission (local value, fair trade, organic certifications) and a demanding target audience: international buyers and distributors.

The challenge: on export markets, credibility is decided online before the first contact. A European distributor assessing an African supplier wants to see a structured, professional brand, in their own language. Burkinature had the products and the certifications, but not a showcase worthy of them to generate qualified enquiries from partners.

On export markets, everything comes down to credibility, even before the first conversation. Contrast gave us a brand and a website worthy of our know-how, in our buyers' language. Since the redesign, we have been receiving significantly more enquiries from serious partners.

The challenges

Business challenges

Generate qualified enquiries from European buyers and distributors. Establish the brand's credibility on demanding export markets. Reach an international audience in its own language.

Technical & creative challenges

A brand identity aligned with the organic & fair-trade positioning. A multilingual website (FR/EN) designed for export and trust, with clear contact journeys to capture enquiries.

The setup

Two links to build export credibility: a brand that is credible internationally and a multilingual website to match.

01

Positioning & brand identity

Positioning and brand guidelines true to Burkinature's DNA: authenticity, traceability, fair-trade commitment. The basis of a brand that inspires trust in an international buyer.

Multilingual website: the showcase of export credibility

A multilingual website (FR/EN) designed for the export audience: supply chains, certifications, mission and impact, with clear contact journeys. Multilingual was not a detail: it was the condition for speaking to the target markets.
