Crafting an exotic escape

Challenge

Our client owned a legacy diamond jewellery business out of South India, a market heavily biased towards gold jewellery. They sought to scale their market penetration and revenue across channels, including digital. This posed a dual challenge – persuade households to develop an intent for diamonds over digital touchpoints, minus the allure of in-person trials.

Designs of Change

At heart, premix tea users are consumers who savour their cup of tea; most premix tea in the market falls short of the ideal experience they associate with their daily rituals. We channelized this understanding to arrive at a brand narrative that was all about an authentic experience, not just the convenience. The solution – Unbrew Your World – became an invitation to escape the ordinary, discover freshness, and unlock new, flavourful experiences with every sip.

Steeped in Grandeur

The authentic and novel premise of the brand’s flavours were reflected with a powerful brand ecosystem and visual identity. Each flavor was expressed as a unique persona + animal from the forest. This lent depth to storytelling while driving product collectability and consumer relatability. The visual identity sparked a narrative that was distinctive, aesthetic, globally adaptable and unlike anything else in premix teas.

“The brand was category-defying in a way and we made sure this made its way to the customer at every touchpoint, especially packaging. It was a conscious decision to break away from functional FMCG design and build a fully immersive forest-inspired visual world. The mascot, a friendly lion, symbolised warmth, companionship and adventure, making premium approachable.”
