The challenge
Verdejo had a loyal local following and packaging that disappeared the moment it sat next to national brands. Retail buyers liked the product and passed on the presentation.
Verdejo & Co.
A regional drinks maker going national needed an identity that survived a crowded shelf and a feed. We built the brand system and the launch campaign that put it into 640 stores.

Sell-through vs category
Verdejo had a loyal local following and packaging that disappeared the moment it sat next to national brands. Retail buyers liked the product and passed on the presentation.
We rewrote the positioning around the ritual rather than the ingredient, built a high-contrast identity that reads at two metres, and produced a modular creative system covering shelf, out-of-home and social. Launch media ran in tight geographic waves so retail sell-through could be measured store by store.
The relaunch landed in 640 stores in eight months, with sell-through beating the category average in every wave. Unaided brand recall in the launch regions tripled.
“We walked into buyer meetings with a brand that finally matched the product. Eight months later we were in 640 stores. That is the whole review.”
