It’s OK to be vague!
Sugru…
We sell online but want to go retail, but we’re not sure if our packaging is strong enough.
Ask an expert!
Thursday, 13 June 2013
Background
Sugru makes a great case study - not only in its origins as an Art School project, but also in the success it has built on-line, and the many cool places that it sells, such as The Design Museum!
However, Sugru is ready for a new chapter.
Clearly, to take Sugru to a sizeable and serious brand scale, volume sales are required from the traditional retail channel.
Already, brands such as Maplin and Halfords* have expressed a high interest in stocking Sugru, but in its current format, it’s not ‘retail ready’.
Unlike on-line, packaging has to perform as the primary communicator - name, proposition, usage and benefit….all in the space of a few square centimetres!
Air has been invited to submit a proposal on supporting FFF to create this important new packaging over the next few months.
(* It is important that we do not build our retail proposition too closely around these brands, to allow us flexibility for other prospects.)
Thursday, 13 June 2013
These photos show everyday products where
Sugro could play a role…
Key thought…
Sugru has been described as being from the future.
It works differently, it is different, it sounds and looks different.
It is imperative that we recognise the rules of retailing and capturing consumer attention, whilst maintaining our uniqueness.
We need to be disruptive.
We won’t have the luxury of in-store POS or of multiple facings.
We can’t rely on shoppers coming to the repair fixture and then working out what we can do for them.
We have to reach out to them - be close to the products that we can help with and be
‘in their face’.
…to ‘make the sale’ with clear and engaging visual packaging inside 20 seconds.
Thursday, 13 June 2013
Specifics…
..or objectives, but this is what we have to aim for:
1 . Communication flexibility
A pack system that allows us to customise the end use to the retailer’s product range and shopper base.
2. Communication efficacy
This is first about creating super-effective content, and then designing it in a super-effective style.
Recognise the rules and then break them.
Recognise that shoppers don’t read!
3. Small as a Retailing Strength
The bigger our packs, the more grounded we’ll have to be to a location.
The smaller our packs are, the more portable we can be in-store next to ‘connected’ products.
Clip strips should be a start-point to our thinking.
4. Bold and Brave
Sugru has a very distinctive look already - whilst it makes sense to keep a strong and consistent brand identity, we may have to compromise on the visual equities to be more disruptive and retail ready.
Thursday, 13 June 2013
Proposed Approach
This is likely to be an iterative process, where we shall refine our approach and the necessary tasks as we evolve.
We propose the following as a start-out but logical methodology:
1. Retail & Pack Immersion
2. Create the Communication Content
3. Create Design Concepts
4. Test Concepts
5. Refine & Implement

Preparing a Brief -‐ the basics
Background -‐ reason for brief
Objec>ves -‐ what you want to
achieve.
Strategy -‐ what needs to be
created.
Scope -‐ how wide can
they think.
Constraints -‐ what has to be
observed.
Plan / Process -‐ >mings, deadlines,
other influences
What you want -‐ from the agency.

-‐ core capabili>es.
-‐ relevant case studies.
-‐ meet the team you would be
working with.
-‐ request 10mins of their thoughts
on the task.
Select on the basis of capabili>es, experience, team, and ins>nct.
Thursday, 13 June 2013
Structural Design Exper>se
Structural Design looks easy!
Ideas are easy -‐ making them work is a totally different capability.
Too many agencies say yes to Structural
Design when they should say no!
Ensure the are trained Structural /
Industrial Designers.
They talk confidently about materials and processes -‐ not plas>c and card!
They talk knowledgably and passionately about past case studies.
Thursday, 13 June 2013
Preparing a Brief -‐ Easy Wins
Ask if the agency have a preferred briefing template.
Go to the agency -‐ brief the team.
Encourage breakfast or lunch.
Add colour and excitement to the brief.
Keep words to a minimum -‐ crea>ves don’t read!
Sum up with a dis>lled sentence.
Request that the agency feeds back with a proposal that describes the crea>ve challenges and their considered approach to methodology.
Thursday, 13 June 2013
Preparing a Brief -‐ added value
A short history of the brand’s evolu>on.
Brand ambi>on, mission statements, brand key etc.
Current developments e.g. new adver>sing, new products.

Breakout 3 -‐ Briefing the Brief
You’ve chosen an agency.
You’ve prepared a clear briefing document….
….but you’re a bit nervous that the mee>ng / briefing could be a bit flat and uninspiring!
Your team has fieeen minutes to devise a set of ideas that would:
-‐ bring inspira>on and insight to the briefing.
-‐ immerse the team.
-‐ enthuse the team / fire them up / make them WANT to
work on your brief!
Thursday, 13 June 2013
Brief 1 -‐ Unloved Ice Cream
We assume that everyone LOVES ice cream but it under-‐indexes at home.
It’s a hassle -‐ frozen hard ice cream buried at the back of the freezer…and you’ve got to baZle with the tub to serve it up to the kids!
Required…
An agency to help you re-‐think ice cream tubs to make it a regular first choice for dessert!
Thursday, 13 June 2013
Brief 2 -‐ Knocking Pot Noodles
Pot noodles have had it all too easy!
The core consumer base are students and teenagers…but they are becoming far more discerning.
Required…
An agency to help revolu>onise
‘pots’ to give them beZer credibility and make the market leader look trashy!
Thursday, 13 June 2013
Brief 3 -‐ Gevng out of a Jam
They’ve tried everything -‐ no bits, squeezy packs, lower sugar…it’s all the right stuff, but jams are suffering an iden>ty crisis.
Whilst bread sales are sound, jam sales are really s>cky!
Jam needs to shout from the spreads aisle -‐ it’s dark and dead!
Required… an agency able to bring freshness and light to our problem.
Thursday, 13 June 2013
Brief 4 -‐ Bigging up Quorn
Some believe Quorn’s >me has really arrived -‐ meat is not only expensive but has a few crises to deal with.
Awareness and trial of soya as a meat subs>tute is healthy at circa 45%, but conversion to sales at the checkout is poor.
Packaging does not help.
Required…
An agency to probe deeply into what’s not working, why and make Quorn great!

Brief 5 -‐ Crocking BeZy’s Cakes
Home Baking is back with a bang!
But BeZy Crocker appears to have the whole cake to herself.

Judging Crea>ve Work
Most agencies get so engrossed in ideas and fall in love with them.
They oeen need to be directed
towards next steps.
Few agencies are crea>ve AND commercially minded.
This is where you play a cri>cal role:
-‐ keeping an open mind on the
crea>ve spread of ideas.
-‐ applying criteria for selec>on and
preference.
-‐ giving due thought to all work
presented.
-‐ ensuring that guidance on further
builds is good advice.
Thursday, 13 June 2013
Judging Crea>ve Work -‐ easy wins
Request that crea>ve work is presented with a structure: ra>onale, benefits, issues, future builds.
Don’t jump in with feedback.
Use your three tools!
Comment on every idea star>ng with the best first.
(Try green, amber, red for >ering).
Other op>ons:
Get the agency to judge their own work first!
Don’t go to mee>ngs alone!

To boost energy and nutrition in kids at breakfast!
