HOW DAVID FOUGHT GOLIATH: DISRUPTING THE DIABETES MARKETChallenge: For people with diabetes, the OmniPod Insulin Management System is a life-changing product—if only they knew. At the time of its initial launch, Insulet Corporation was small and unknown, with a new product and disruptive technology: the OmniPod. The target market was resistant to change. The competition was established, with robust marketing and advertising budgets and comprehensive support for HCP offices. Furthermore, one competitor owned the lion’s share of the market. How does a start-up break through the clutter and successfully compete with industry giants?











Solution: We created a highly provocative launch campaign that captured the attention and interest of HCPs and patient audiences. Bold, unexpected visuals paired with targeted messaging sparked curiosity and inspired action to learn more about the OmniPod—the world’s first tubeless insulin pump. Within one year of launch, sales increased dramatically, and brand awareness among our target audience rose 475%. In addition, we continued to nurture existing OmniPod customers with ongoing patient education and engagement materials to help support the OmniPod patient experience and foster brand loyalty.ClientInsulet Corporation

Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is known as the service innovator within its peer group of leading airports worldwide. But its channel-driven approach led to a fragmented offering – a situation they asked Edenspiekermann to overhaul within a multi-year digital unification project. Working in a collaborative agile framework with relevant internal stakeholders, we guided teams on how to focus on the true needs of passengers. Informed by extensive user research, persona development and customer journey mapping, we were able to create a platform that proactively tailors the travel experiences to each passenger.

BRIEF
Agrii is a leading provider of agronomy services and under the Master Seeds brand it supplies seed to farm business customers.  Seeds supplied by the Master Seeds brand are quality checked to market-leading standards. The client was looking to promote the Master Seeds brand and the recently improved standards to its customers.


SOLUTION
One important improvement to the standards was the fact that Master Seeds allow 0 Blackgrass seed per 2kg sample checked. We devised the bold ‘Zero Blackgrass’ identity to run across the campaign, supported by confirmation of the additional new standards to their already comprehensive range.


RESULTS
The campaign was launched across an advert in the Agrii Master Seeds Yearbook, four-page flyer, roller banners and outdoor banners.

One view at project management CHALLENGE
Inefficient, cumbersome, costly, and restrictive PPM tools together with lack of governance are the reasons for repeated project failures, poor results, and cost/time overruns.
SOLUTION
Zeno.PM is supposed to integrate all the tools that may a manager need when working on a project:1.Gantt Chart
Problem. There is no convenient and visible way to plan tasks and resources, check the progress, and estimate deadlines.
Solution. A user can create a classical Gantt chart, add items, edit them, and schedule according to the calendar, check the information.2. Program Risk Quadrant 
Problem. It's impossible to visualize the overall risk factors for a given project, so a user could not identify and classify the risks to recognize their qualitative and quantitative characteristics.
Solution. The customized plugin has been developed in the form of a quadrant, which data is plotted onto a canvas with the ability to move risks (dots) across different areas.3. Budget Editor
Problem. In the absence of the right visualization model, managers face the challenge of planning the project's budgets according to the calendar.
Solution. The functionality similar to excel has been developed that allows showing the table with the possibility to add, edit, and delete amounts of money, create reports.4. Messenger
Problem. As team members are communicating through the third-party messengers, it takes extra time to switch between tabs and becomes an additional distractive factor.
Solution. The main functionality is sending real-time messages. Like in any standard messenger, a user can have chat, create groups, share files, etc. to stay connected inside the projects.5.Timesheets
Problem. There is no functionality to choose projects and/or tasks to work with on timesheets in a quick access mode.
Solution. A user can easily add quick tasks, their description, set “due date”, assign the tasks effortlessly and set up notifications to track the progress.

Promonaut is a private advertising network™ that allows people and companies to engage and pay people for one-to-one promotions.




In a world where attention is the most valued currency, Promonaut is trying to get you the most bang for your buck.
The service itself consists of two parts: a mobile app (iOS, and Android) as its main utility, and the Rocket web application used by promoters to create new campaigns and monitor existing and past ones.Since Promonaut is a product that has evolved and branched out of another product it already came with some design assets, so our first job was to work on the new branding and its visual identity.
Considering the deadlines we were faced with — and the client's attachment to their logo at the time — we stopped exploring new directions, and simply updated the logo they already had.
At the time we didn't know if this is going to be a permanent thing, so in the process we came up with the idea to create a gradient and use it as their main differentiator, a carrier of their identity if you will. We could then apply it to anything and “Promonautize” it.
Additionally, we created a temporary infosite, and various marketing materials they needed for their own promotion, and other uses.

In a world where everything is closer together than ever before, pulled together by commerce, technology and fast, inexpensive air travel, one thing remains as distant and diverse as it was a hundred years ago.Currency, or more specifically, foreign currency.We still have the British Pound, US Dollar and our very own Malaysian Ringgit. Foreign currency and foreign exchange is a drag. An old-world drag. The Air Asia ezpay virtual card is from the new world.

Overall the outcome of the mobile apps are possibly as good as a physical Mastercard itself.

IONDESIGN designs the packaging for the olive oil "il circolo" from the south of Italy. The label picks up the annual rings of the Sicilian olive trees, which also appear in the name of the oil. Both the packaging of the 500ml bottle and the 3L canister emphasize the exquisite quality of the natural product. By reinvesting the proceeds from the sale of the oil, the region around the Italian Noto is strengthened. The aim of the producers is the sustainable and social production of excellent, organic olive oil - these characteristics are recognizable in the packaging. The dark green glass of the bottle provides an elegant background for the deep black label with gold stamping. The eponymous annual rings of the olive tree are executed in partial varnish give the label a silky sheen.

Challenge. Disrupt an oatmeal aisle that has been dominated by Quaker Oatmeal for over 100 years
Solution. Umpqua Oats has the product to compete against the mushy instant oatmeal competition. With whole rolled oats, real ingredients and none of those added fillers Quaker uses to save costs, Umpqua Oats is exactly what Millennials are looking for. Hitting the oatmeal aisle with bright white and a bold use of black and bright colors instantly attracts attention in a sea of beige. An image with appetite appeal is easy to execute because their product is REAL.Nothing shows the Umpqua difference more than image and video so we art directed a series of videos to be used online and in social media. Connecting consumers to the history of Umpqua Oats and co-founders, Sheri and Mandy, shows consumers that Umpqua is not just a real product, but also made by real people.Check out Umpqua Oats' brand videos:https://vimeo.com/215722432https://vimeo.com/215723532

When a brand that's been around for more than 100 years needs a refresh, there’s inherently a challenge involved: balance the equity in the current brand with the need to modernise to stay relevant in today and tomorrow’s markets. That’s exactly the situation Strategy Creative was asked to tackle for Naylor Love — one of New Zealand’s largest construction companies which traces its roots back to 1910 in Dunedin.
Strategy’s approach is always to begin by articulating a brand’s strategic positioning based on its core strengths. The positioning always serves as the foundation for the creative work that follows. For Naylor Love, the core themes were around dependability, trust, and forward-thinking, so the visual identity needed to reflect that. The approach to the logo was an evolution, not a revolution. The original version had presence in the marketplace but looked busy and dated, so we simplified it, sharpened it up, and made it bolder but kept the core essence of the original mark. From there, we modernised the rest of the branding with a brighter and fresher teal primary colour, and a more minimalist design aesthetic to the vehicle fleet, business cards, letterheads, documents, advertising, and other collateral.
The resulting identity has perfectly achieved what it set out to do in presenting Naylor Love as a company which is forward-thinking and can be trusted thanks to its track record.

Goal: to create social media profiles with a highly engaged, targeted audience/ fanbase.
Solution: Something About Marketing created an Instagram page for FEBC RM, and posted high quality content with amazing storytelling copy. After utilizing the best marketing strategies, we were able to grow the account to over 10k followers in just under 6 weeks! 
Not to mention the engagement rate was very high, and the posts were well received by the target audience. It's safe to say that we created a powerful Instagram with a high attention rate, (the main purpose of social) with their very niche audience. 
"They changed our entire social media strategy... We went from zero to over 10,000 niche followers on our Instagram in a short six weeks thanks to the team at Something About Marketing!"

The Brief
Create a market leading interactive benchmark which allows the world’s largest investment companies, with FAIRR having $7.8 trillion supporter AUM, to make informed decisions around environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues surrounding protein production.
Our Approach
The key prospect for the Index was to ensure it was digestible, engaging, and flexible. Through filtering functionality, users are able to surface relevant data with the ability to download their key findings. Users can also take an in-depth look into each company profile and view more specific KPI data. Companies are scored against 9 risk factors, these all having 2 unique icons for different applications; corporate and playful.
The Outcome
The initial expectation for the index was to be annually updated, but due to the successful launch, the site will be updated every quarter; expanding the company data set. In the first week of launch, the index generated over 100 media articles from sites such as The Financial Times, BBC news, The Guardian, and has helped FAIRR increase their site visits by 641% vs last year.

Hydro Flask: your go-to companion container for all beverage types and temperatures. Known for its vibrant colors and sleek designs, Hydro Flask came to Capsule seeking updated packaging design and a new naming system. Our process began with in-store research and thoughtful brand strategy and ended with an improved package design, updated language and icons and a playful naming system to match the vision for Hydro Flask’s product development cycle.Capsule conducted an in-depth qualitative study to discover current brand and packaging perceptions and to inform a strategy for future packaging development. After studying the market, conducting a competitive analysis and talking with customers in-aisle, we were armed with the insights needed to determine an effective strategy to more powerfully communicate Hydro Flask’s product technology, personality and brand positioning.With these research findings informing the rest of the project, Capsule developed a packaging update designed to more clearly communicate product benefits and the brand position to enable Hydro Flask to stand out among competition on the shelf. The design had to consider, and be consistent with, packaging across multiple products (i.e. soft goods, water bottles, and accessories) and package structures (i.e. belly bands and hangtags). The final package design had to play a key role in facilitating the consumer buying decision.The brand and product research also guided names in three different categories: color, product and series. The subsequent names born out of our unique naming process were chosen to further establish brand resonance, match Hydro Flask’s personality and align with the particular use of each product."Capsule was a great partner for our packaging refresh. Their work was thorough, timely and exactly what we needed. Considerable thought was put into strategy and execution, resulting in an excellent finished product."
