Oatly writes more than any other food brand — and people actually read it. Long, odd, self-aware copy is the brand’s real product design.

01

Visual Identity

What works

Hand-drawn type and packaging-style layouts make every post feel like a note on the carton.

Room to grow

Text-heavy posts can be hard to read on mobile. Larger type for the key line would help.

02

Voice

What works

Rambling, honest and self-deprecating. The brand writes like an overthinking friend.

Room to grow

Quirky copy is widely imitated now. The voice needs new tricks to stay distinctive.

03

Strategy

Oatly treats every surface — carton, billboard, caption — as media. The Instagram page is simply the place where all of it gets collected and shared.
