Nusi – Rebranding for a Confectionery Brand
A unified concept, a new character, and a vibrant design — a strategic solution aimed at boosting sales.
1. Task
Our client, "Nusi," has been a well-known brand in the market since 2008, especially in the kilogram-selling cookie segment. However, over time, as the brand's portfolio expanded, its main problem became obvious: the visual dispersion of products. For each new product, a separate packaging was created at different times by different designers, so they lacked a common style and integrity.
Our task was to unite these scattered products under a single, powerful, and easily recognizable visual concept.
2. Research
- The power of mascots. International studies show that products with their own brand mascots are remembered by consumers up to 37% more. The mascot brings the brand to life, gives it emotion, and establishes a friendly connection with the consumer.
- Psychology of Colors. It has been scientifically proven that bright and warm colors in confectionery products, especially red, stimulate appetite and accelerate purchase decisions by up to 12%. This color is a symbol of joy, energy, and affection.
- Situation in the local market. Most competitors used similar, unmemorable packaging, and the market lacked genuine, sincere brands with a real story. As the saying goes, "A diamond doesn't stay on the ground," this situation opened the door to great opportunities for "Nusi."
3. Solution
- Logo rebranding. The old logo has been updated: it has become more friendly, modern, and easily readable on all types of packaging.
- The brand's mascot is the "Nusi" lion. An image of a kind and cheerful lion cub was developed for the brand. Why specifically a lion? Because he, as the "king of animals," refers to the brand's leadership in its segment, and his playful appearance is equally appealing to children and parents.
- Dynamic mascot. Shercha adapts to the character of each product: in "Zoology" cookies, he is a caring friend with a spoon, and in "Kulcha Toy" - a mischievous comrade riding a scooter. This approach allowed each product to create its own story.
- "Arabica" exception. A separate strategic decision was made for the brand's best-selling "locomotive" product - "Arabica." The familiar color palette for clients was preserved, and the design was adapted to the general concept.
- Desirable 3D visualization. A 3D model of each product was created so that the appearance of all products would be as realistic and appetizing as possible.
Result
Thanks to the updated design, Nusi has transformed from a scattered product range into a cohesive, powerful, and emotionally appealing brand. Now you can immediately recognize the eye-pleasing "Nusi" products on store shelves.
The hero of the new brand - the lioness "Nusi" - has become a valuable asset that can be used not only in packaging, but also in future advertising campaigns. As the famous designer Paul Rand said: "Design is not only the appearance, but also how it works." In this project, exactly such a working package was created: it serves the sale of the product.
