\ Challenge

Since launching in 2018, Wolstead has built a reputation for professional-grade cookware at an accessible price. But as its range grew to 180 products, the brand needed a sharper identity to stand out in a crowded retail space dominated by high-priced European brands and budget alternatives. Wolstead required a distinct positioning that reflected its quality, credibility, and appeal to home cooks who value performance over prestige.

\ Outcome

Block refined Wolstead’s brand with a powerful idea: For Those Who Know—a statement that speaks directly to cooks who understand that great results come from using the right tools.

The new identity is bold yet understated, reflecting the strength and precision of Wolstead’s products. A floating photography style, where cookware appears to levitate, reinforces the alchemy of great cooking—where ingredients, technique, and tools come together seamlessly. This distinctive aesthetic extends across all touchpoints, from packaging and promotions to digital and in-store displays, ensuring a cohesive and premium presence.

The rebrand scales effortlessly across Wolstead’s expanding range while maintaining a consistent, premium look. The impact has been immediate, with sales increasing over 50% year-on-year, solidifying Wolstead as a leader in performance cookware.
