CASE STUDY
IN A NUTSHELL
To grab the attention of 18-34s in the coffee aisle
NESCAFÉ AZERA were virtually invisible at shelf to their target audience. On a shelf of browns, blacks and greys, their silver packaging fitted in, instead of standing out.
Truth is, coffee tins all look the same. Sameness is the antithesis of young people. They appreciate individuality, cultural relevancy and brands that go against the grain.
STRATEGY: Coffee for young people should be designed by young people. We teamed up with students at UCA to use NESCAFÉ AZERA as their canvas for culturally relevant, stand out tins with a message.
