- Gamification - we created an interactive jigsaw puzzle which was driven by the insight that Theanine - a property of Green tea, helps with mental focus. We felt that jigsaw puzzle was both interactive as well as required mental focus which aligned with the brand & product properties and customer benefit statements. Given the media habits of the target audience at the time, this solution was most inclusive and would capture and engage the widest group of customers ranging from 18-35, 35-55, 55+ age groups
Outcome:
The Product Sold Out in Retail and Wholesale Nationally in India, twice, back to back - two months in a row. Something that has never happened before in the Hot Beverage Product Category nor in any category offered by the Fortune 500 Global CPG/FMCG company
