Gousto Brand Evolution
From “Unbox Possibility” to “Give it some Gousto”
With thousands of subscribers, and over 1 million meals delivered every week, Gousto is one of the fastest-growing tech companies in Europe – and the UK’s no. 1 recipe box. Powered by data, A.I. and our deep passion for food, we’re on a mission to be the nation's most loved way to eat dinner, bringing customers a smarter way to shop, cook and eat. We can't wait for more people to discover our boxes up and down the country.
Our new brand spirit is 'Give it some Gousto' – an attitude and flair that influences everything we do, and embodies the three tiers of our brand personality: A look and feel that's Confident, Colourful and Creative.

Tone of Voice workshops with our Customer Care Team
“The work that Sophie has done to empower and train Customer Care on our brand tone of voice is (I believe) her single biggest achievement. Sophie gave a lot of consideration to the content of the sessions, ensuring they were both informative and engaging. She showed confidence and deep expertise, using interactive exercises to get the team solving copy/tone challenges that would equip the team with helpful techniques to apply on the job. The results speak for themselves and it’s wonderful to see such glowing feedback from the team.” Matt Price, Gousto Head of Creative
