As AI tools become more widely adopted, people are turning to chatbots to talk through emotional challenges and everyday struggles. But most of these tools aren’t designed to support mental wellbeing safely. They struggle to spot warning signs, lack continuity across conversations, and can encourage dependency.

Unobravo, Europe’s leading online therapy service, recognised they were uniquely placed to respond with Clary: a psychologist-informed mental wellbeing app designed specifically for emotional support.

In a high-trust category like mental wellbeing, success depends on brand and product working in lockstep.

Unobravo partnered with us to bring together brand, product thinking and AI strategy, shaping Clary into a proposition designed to earn trust, signal clinical credibility and stand out in a saturated market.

Clary needed to sit carefully alongside Unobravo’s core service, extending their mission into the everyday moments where people look for support but may not be in formal care.

We worked with the Unobravo team to refine the proposition, ensuring it reflected the strength of their clinical offer while clearly defining Clary’s role in an increasingly crowded AI landscape.

A key principle emerged early. AI capability alone would not drive adoption. What mattered was what Clary enabled: stronger emotional awareness and practical next steps grounded in real life.

From this foundation, we developed the core positioning and messaging, anchored in a simple idea: Clary helps you human.

With the strategic foundations in place, we moved into a focused four-week brand sprint covering identity, tone of voice and visual direction.

Building on the idea, Clary helps you human, we developed a tone of voice grounded in how people actually speak in difficult moments. It feels like a trusted friend who understands mental wellbeing deeply: warm and practical, without exaggeration or over sentimentality.

Visually, we developed a flexible identity system built around emotional states. A family of shapes and glyphs represents feelings people often struggle to articulate, creating a visual language that reflects the complexity of emotional life.

The result is a distinctive brand world rooted in emotional reality, positioning Clary as a practical and trusted companion for everyday wellbeing.

From the outset, we were clear that Clary could not feel confined to a chat interface.

Mental well-being is lived day-to-day, in the real world. The brand needed to reflect that reality.

As the identity developed, we explored how Clary could extend beyond digital touchpoints into everyday moments of emotional regulation. Concepts such as physical stress tools helped reinforce the positioning of Clary as part of daily self-care.

Throughout the project, brand expression was developed in step with the product experience. In sensitive categories like mental wellbeing, any disconnect between what a product promises and how the brand behaves quickly undermines trust.

The work established a distinctive and scalable brand system, a clear value proposition that complements Unobravo’s existing service, a tone of voice designed for emotional credibility, and a site to support early adoption.

Working at pace to seize the AI opportunity, Unobravo launched Clary with a brand and product experience designed for a high-trust category from day one.
