Post-Crisis Brand Revitalization – Navigating Lebanon’s Economic Collapse

The Challenge
Amid Lebanon’s severe economic and currency crisis, a 40-year-old F&B brand faced collapsing sales, eroded consumer trust, and supply chain disruptions. Leadership needed a survival-to-thrive strategy that preserved heritage while adapting to hyperinflation and shifting consumer behavior.
The Solution
Hussein Yassine deployed a crisis-resilient brand framework focused on value repositioning, localized sourcing, and community-centric messaging. The strategy emphasized affordability without compromising quality, leveraging emotional equity to rebuild trust during national instability.
Our Approach

Community Re-engagement
Launched “Made to Last” campaign celebrating Lebanese resilience, supported by micro-influencers and neighborhood activations.
Results & Impact
"In our darkest hour, Hussein didn’t just offer strategy—he offered hope with a plan. His crisis framework saved our brand and gave our team purpose."
