Distinctive rearticulation of the global brand essence founded on the INTEGRITY of local INSIGHT
Our Stories

The Challenges

How do we stay true to the global Neutrogena brand’s core but rearticulate it to be able to win in India ?

The Approach

We immersed ourselves in the world of the brand, decoding consumer realities, cultural tensions and how other global brands were adapted to the market. We then set up a strategic workshop with the team to surface untapped insights and carve out powerful, locally relevant narratives.

The Outcome

  • A distinctive rearticulation of the brand’s essence
  • Refined strategic insight platforms
  • Alignment with local and regional brand teams
