Overview

Background

Since the 90's, Australians have been enjoying the icier side of their favourite soft drinks to get them through a hot summer's day. Yet as the Frozen offer expanded, the overall experience and identity was inconsistent and fragmented across multiple brands, customers & price points. We were challenged to deliver a solution that would unite the Frozen platform under one platform, without creating new brand identities, and deliver an experience to match the product.

Idea

We developed the Frozen brand platform idea: 'amplify your favourite experiences'. It was all about taking fun to the next level and making great moments with frozen and friends even better. Our creative tool to execute this was our Frozen 'experience in a can'. A unique 'frozen' identity hacks the individual brands and ties them together, whilst not detracting from their own identities. Allowing us to add a playful approach - amplifying the fun and seriously unserious character of frozen.

Execution

We developed the Frozen brand platform idea: 'amplify your favourite experiences'. It was all about taking fun to the next level and making great moments with frozen and friends even better. Our creative tool to execute this was our Frozen 'experience in a can'. We hacked the original brands using distinctive typography and illustrations across communication touchpoints. A unique 'frozen' identity ties together all the product brands under one identity whilst not detracting from the individual identities. Allowing us to add a playful approach-amplifying the fun and seriously unserious character of frozen.
