  • Unveils new packaging across40 variants nationally

    Elephant powers Kurkure refresh

     

     

    Popular snack brand Kurkure has unveiled a healthier variant. And along with it an all-new packaging, led by Pune-based Elephant Design.

     

    As some of the innovations in shapes and flavours happened organically, the Pepsico India-owned brand relooked at the need for a cohesive brand architecture and visual language.

     

    There were three significant tasks for this redesigning exercise:

    • Enhance brand leadership, relevance and distinctiveness.
    • Build an architecture that is able to create strong differentiation for categories
    • And most importantly, help consumers navigate the shelf and pick the right snack of their choice

     

    The concept was built around getting the ingredients in focus to enhance taste appeal with a larger than life shape of the product providing backdrop for play between products and ingredients. Every variant is called out in custom designed typography that also makes it ownable. Back of packs have been brought to life with custom-drawn illustrations of turning mundane encounters into fun moments by sharing the tasty crunchy snack.

     

    While harmonising the entire portfolio in terms of messaging, tone of voice and visual language the Elephant team helped create  clear distinction within categories of collets, puffcorns, trangles and Indian savoury snacks.

     

    Strangely, a PepsiCo India communique credits only global design group, head Mauro Porcini and Elephant is billed as an “external agency”.

    Tata Motors and Jack in the Box Worldwide have created a platform to connect like-minded individuals and bring them together to realise their aspirations.

     

    Said Sujan Roy, Business Head, Passenger Vehicles – International, Tata Motors: “JITB has been one of the key digital agencies that has been working closely with Tata Motors as part of our corporate transformation journey. Our association started with the much-awarded digital campaign leading up to the debut of Racemo, a sports car that announced the new TAMO future mobility solutions vertical at Geneva Motors Show 2017. JITB was the natural choice as a digital partner when we wanted a quick, creative and targeted campaign to publicise our new corporate brand promise – Connecting Aspirations. This time around, JITB conceptualized a multi-episode docu-series that explained what connecting aspirations meant for very different sets of people and how Tata Motors played its role in the fulfilment of their aspirations. We look forward to taking our association with Team JITB further with the next campaign.”

     

    Added Kaizad Pardiwalla, President and Chief Operating Officer, The 120 Media Collective: “It was early 2016 when JITB partnered with Tata Motors in what we believe was the start of an extremely rewarding  journey. The launch of Racemo got an overwhelmingly positive response from both, the audience, and the marketing and communication fraternity. Buoyed by its success, we embarked upon our next journey, a road trip across the country, where we connected people with  similar aspirations and an ambition to deliver social change. The Tata Motors PVIB team headed by Sujan is one of the most digital forward teams we have worked with and we are excited to extend our partnership to a new campaign, which promises to be just as exciting and trailblazing as the earlier ones.”
