This is a presentation I put together in 2009 for a client of mine, Oasis (a bottled water company in Dubai, UAE).
The Innocent Smoothies case study was used in an effort to convince Oasis to take a similar "human" approach to communication by proving that FMCG/CPG products can be successfully differentiated in such a manner.
It is then followed by a competitive analysis.
22. Innocent is all about being…
Naturally functional: “no magic ingredient X”
and it’s made of unadulterated goodness
Fun: Down-to-earth, funny, quirky, and surprising in
all their communication
23.
24. Convenience
An on-the-go and single-serve format
All the benefits of it’s fresh fruit and its
award winning taste
Both social and environmental
Fruit
Ethics
25.
26. With a customer-Centric approach based on understanding
people’s needs, Innocent continues to form bonds…
44. Taking communication even
further with ethics…
Sharing the profit
Keeping things natural
Resource efficient
ethics business
Sustainable packaging
Responsible ingredients

so strongly, than we have all the more reason to!

Its because we want to look at and learn from a brand that has managed to stand out and make a lasting impression on people being in a similar category to water\n\nthat at face value is banal because everybody is saying the same thing, because there is little to say about the category, and because any additional added values have been copied, recopied and recycled again.\n
