DO PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD.

10. THE SITUATION
Flake wished to rub shoulders with the likes of Galaxy and Lindt in the
‘indulgence’ chocolate categories. But it did not receive that desired level
of consideration from daily shoppers.
GO BACK

11. THE CHALLENGE
To pierce the chocolate-consuming behaviour of shoppers and make them
recognise Flake as a unique, indulgent chocolate due to its folded texture
and fragile structure.
GO BACK

12. OUR PROPOSAL
We took their current campaign, “Captivating Folds” and created an
interactive Folding (Origami) Challenge.
GO BACK

13. STEP 1: Shopper finds origami paper and
instructions to participate in the contest.
STEP 2: These customers submit pictures of their
origami efforts to Flake’s social media portals.
STEP 3: They promote their submissions
on social media.
STEP 4: Winners get featured and win prizes.
Online visitors are influenced to buy
the product to enter the contest.
THE ACTIVATION
GO BACK

14. The activation led to engage shoppers by highlighting the unique attribute
of the product (folds) and build affinity towards the chocolate.

15. FAITH WILL MOVE MOUNTAINS.
IF NOT, CREATIVITY WILL.

16. THE TASK
Toblerone traditionally marketed a six-bar hexagonal
combination pack for seasonal offers. They asked for two
things:
1. To help pull in more shoppers with their current configuration
2. To experiment with more configurations for higher margins
GO BACK

17. 1. THE GIFT
These combo-packs are mostly used by shoppers as easy gifting solutions.
Therefore we invested our ideas in creating designs wherein the shoppers
could personalise the gift.
GO BACK

18. GO BACK
Using window-cuts we created scope for
a special message on the outer pack.
GO BACK

19. GO BACK
With that, we inserted a leaflet of stickers
with English letters in the Toblerone
brandname font.
GO BACK

20. GO BACK
The buyer could use the stickers to
personally address it to those who she
wished to gift the pack to.
GO BACK

21. 2. THE GIANT
Sharing is caring. Except for chocolates. And when it comes to Toblerone,
it’s never enough. So we created a pack-design that was family-size by true
Emirati measures.
GO BACK

22. The pack is not only attractively large,
but also cleverly spells out its purpose.
GO BACK

23. I CAME. I SAW.
I GOT HOOKED.
GO BACK

24. THE OPPORTUNITY
Johnson & Johnson, UAE pitched experiential activation ideas to the
retailing giant Carrefour for the New Year, 2015.
As a retailer, Carrefour would choose those suggestions that pulled the
largest crowd. We proposed ideas that were designed on behaviour
insights of shoppers during that time of the year.
The following ideas were created as a co-branding for Listerine and
Splenda (both habit-inducing products).
GO BACK

25. ‣ Today’s efforts are tomorrow’s gifts
to ourselves. We set goals and see
ourselves as a different (even
slightly) person in the coming days.
‣ This activation invited shoppers to
write a congratulatory note to their
future selves.
‣ It would let them visualise their
selves at that state of success, and
motivates them to work towards it.
Dear Future Me
GO BACK

26. ‣ We install a gigantic megaphone
with a mouth design at the large
end.
‣ People shout out their resolutions,
for the year and share it with the
world.
‣ Everyone who does so will get a
motivational / inspirational card to
go along (aligned with brand
benefits) and free samples.
Shout it Out
GO BACK

27. ‣ Symbolic to the old burdens, we
ask shoppers to pop out balloons
on a wall with a ball.
‣ Each balloon popped will reveal
positive, inspiring words behind it
like, Breathe, Walk, Smile, Relax,
Love, Share, Innovate and so on.
‣ Each shopper is given a message
card relating to the word they
reveal.
Pop your Problems
GO BACK

28. ‣ Instead of popping them, why not
use balloons as symbols of hope
and aspirations?
‣ We set up a barren tree and give
shoppers balloons and markers.
They write the things they wish to
accomplish for 2015 and then we
tie their balloon to the branches of
the tree.
‣ Balloon by balloon, the tree fills up
and blooms to become the icon of
aspirations for 2015.

32. THE TASK
At.mosphere is the world’s highest restaurant and one of the iconic brands
that make up Dubai. Though they had developed a sleek brand identity,
they required a definitive style guide for their brand.
The following extracts show how the guide was kept relevant and
interesting, so that every stakeholder of the brand could understand and
apply them correctly.

39. THE CHICKEN THAT CROSSED THE ROAD.
GO BACK

40. THE MAKEOVER
SFC Plus (Southern Fried Chicken) had been doing business in UAE for
over 20 years when they finally got up and took the decision to compete
with their A-listing counterparts (McDonald’s, KFC etc.)
To do so, they had to be noticed. And the world only gives attention to the
bold or the crazy. We suggested them to don a bit of both to their brand’s
personality. And thus, the ‘Daringly Different’ positioning was born.
The following extracts from their brochure are the first emblems of their
refreshed identity.
