Abstract

This study aimed to explore the brand development of the community enterprise “SIAM SEASALT,” located in Moo 3, Ban Sahakon, Khok Kham subdistrict, Mueang District, Samut Sakhon province. Based on the objective, this study sought to enhance brand identity by aligning product designs with the core values of purity and nature, which are intrinsic to the area’s local salt production. A qualitative method was employed, including interviews, participant observation, and brand design analysis. Then, the brand was redesigned to highlight its strengths and uniqueness by reinventing its graphic design, color, materials, and brand communication. The results indicated that strategic branding not only elevated the perceived value of the product but also reinforced community pride and long-term sustainability. Furthermore, the study concluded with design proposals and recommendations that support local identity, consumer trust, and marketing effectiveness.
