Since 2015 LaviniaNext is the full-services communication agency for Almond Breeze in Spain.
Almond Breeze, brand of almond milk that belongs to the American cooperative Blue Diamond, contacted LaviniaNext with the idea of generating a long-term relationship in its introduction of the brand in the Spanish market. The first step was the realization of a blind tasting where the product was chosen as the best almond milk in terms of taste. From that moment on, a strategy was carried out with a positioning based on taste.
LaviniaNext conceptualizes and develops the entire communication of the brand in all its channels, including the creation and management of its website, social networks and annual campaigns.
The result is that the demand for the product currently far exceeds the supply.
The SoMe monitoring demonstrates a great eagerness to find product and the creation of a lot of content related to the brand by consumers.

Context








Toy museum is the first Toys’ museum in Lithuania. It was opened at the very end of 2012 by one young family. Museum represents the history of Lithuanian toys. It’s the place where all the known information about historical toys of Lithuania are kept. Along with that, there you can play with the toys that your great-grandfather used to play with. The museum seeks to be innovative and constantly upgrading one. Because of that, they thought it would be a great idea to propose some interactive games to be played with for a museum visitors.








Project goal








The main goal of the project was to create 10 interactive games which would be fun to play with. Games must be simple, support multi-language and be smoothly playable on tablets. One of the biggest requests was – the games must serve an educational purpose and each of them should represent different historical eras.
















Solution




We cooperated with UAB Elektronynės Leidybos Namai in this project. They were responsible for all the game ideas and designs while the toughlex team had to make their ideas come true. All the graphic designs and proposals were static and before the implementation phase, we didn’t know how the final product will really look like. Some of the ideas were changing various times until we with the client came up with a consensus in every area.

Murder in the Hotel Lisbon is a videogame inspired by the classic point and click adventures from the 80’s and 90’s. It adopts these eras distinctive design and it is built using only the pixel art technique. The game itself runs at a native resolution of 256x192, the same resolution used by the old ZX Spectrum 48k and most recently by the Nintendo DS.A strange murder has occurred in the Hotel Lisbon, a man committed suicide with 14 stabs to the back while at the same time he peacefully drank his coffee.This case with contradictory facts was too complex for Policeman Garcia to solve, so he decided to hire the only detective duo in town capable of solving it: the mythical Detective Case and the unmistakable Clown Bot.Together, they will solve a network of love relations so complex and so intricate, that it would take at least 14 clairvoyants, 5 apocalyptic sect prophets who can predict the end of the world and 3 of those gypsies that can read the palm of your hand just to guess the final outcome.

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

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."

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. It lets you manage multiple foreign currency balances and you can use it just like a real credit card wherever Mastercard is accepted via the iOS and Android mobile apps.Internut has worked with Air Asia ezpay & BIG Prepaid on the development of the iOS and Android apps, the former being a global, multi-currency and mobile framework issuing and servicing thousands of cardholders daily.The Air Asia ezpay and BIG Prepaid iOS and Android mobile apps are built to military grade standards; banking platforms need this sort of security around them. Overall the outcome of the mobile apps are possibly as good as a physical Mastercard itself.

Inducorte is a manufacturer and supplier of metal moulds, cutters and punches for several industries, that was looking to modernize their brand.The goal of this redesign was to present the brand’s work in a more professional, direct and distinguishable way. We truly wanted to create an identity Inducorte would be proud of. To achieve this, the execution of this logo relied on the factory’s skills as much as it did on the designers. The final product is not an illustration or a 3D rending, but an actual photography of a metal mold produced by inducorte for Inducorte.This inclusion of the factory’s own talents in the creation of their brand identity resulted in a logo held by the workers with much affection.
