Pastaweesy is an Egyptian pasta brand seeking to develop its marketing strategy and creative materials. The document discusses developing a new slogan based on an Egyptian proverb to reflect the brand's flexibility. It then outlines deliverables including conceptualizing the slogan through a song, digital content, and on-ground activations. Examples provided include different colored "mustaches" representing various pasta flavors and an album giving customers stickers for ordering meals. The concept is further developed to portray pasta as being promoted from a side dish to main course thanks to Pastaweesy's innovation and flexibility.
2. Understandings from The Brief
Pastaweesy is the first Egyptian brand to localize pasta since 2011. Now, it is
taking huge steps towards being a chain of restaurants with 8 branches in Cairo
and Alex.
The marketing communication activities are very unique and artistic, but
somehow they are not digging deep enough to create an edge for our brand.
In other words ... Those creative visuals and activities need a good strategic
narrative to support and build-up on them.
3. List of Deliverables
1. Slogan (something that can reflect the brand, its values and promises)
2. Conceptualizing the Slogan
3. Fledging the Creative Concept:
a. Video/ Digital Copy (Song)
b. BTL Materials (2 Submissions)
c. On-ground & digital activation
5. Where does it come from?
It is a word-play line based on the famous Egyptian proverb:
ﺑﺎﺗﻴﺴﺘﺎ ﻳﺎ ﻟﻮن ﻛﻞ ﻋﻠﻰ
That phrase was used by old cloth merchants who used to pass by houses to sell
their goods. Later, that same phrase got turned into a proverb or idiom that
reflects flexibility (over-flexibility)
6. Why to twist it and use it with Pastaweesy?
That line/slogan is easy,catchy and meaningful. Plus it can work on the brand’s
favor on several levels.
Literally: Because Pastaweesy provides pasta in almost all available cooking colors & sauces
(Red/ Tomato - White Sauce - Yellow/Curry - Green/Pesto - Golden - Brownish/Oven)
Figuratively:
As we work in different places/branches, with different pot sizes (Medium/Large/Group)
Also, our pasta can be eaten during different moods and in different ways (different eating habits)

13. 1- Different colors of mustaches
So as to reflect our new strategy and the new slogan, we are
going to take the extra-mile (or extra-smile).
The mustache represents Pastaweesy, but we want it to reflect
all the flavors and colors of pasta. So instead of having just one
color (red), we would present our customers with at least 5 more
colors of mustaches ….
It is easy and simple …And will make our experience more fun

2- The Album of Mustaches
Remember in the 1990s & 1980s when the brands
used to publish albums for contest.
We are going nostalgic here !
By reviving the old tradition, but in a way that suits
our brand. Whenever you order a meal from
Pastaweesy you would get an envelope containing
10 different sticky mustaches, find them all ,match
each one to its right place so as to win!
17. After exploring the main concept:
ﺑﺎﺳﺘﺎ ﻳﺎ ﻟﻮن ﻛﻞ ﻋﻠﻰ
We found out that it can be developed more to reach something
more insightful ….
