The Depot WPF team developed a package for premium-segment KitKat® Senses® chocolate bars.
Recently, KitKat® brand positioning was only in the middle price segment. Therefore, the main task of the project was the formation of a special perception of new products by consumers. We managed to create the unique premium packaging, corresponding to both the new direction of the brand's development and its global style.
Chocolate KitKat® Senses® stands out: the new technology of simultaneous feeding of different types of chocolate has allowed to achieve complex patterns on the surface of the tile, which makes each KitKat® Senses® unique. The beauty of the resulting patterns has also laid down in the design of the package, in which a realistic image of the product is framed by a saturated red background, made in the form of a capital letter "K".
- During the development of the new KitKat® Senses® design, we faced a challenge: to emphasize all the advantages of the brand new product for KitKat®, while maintaining the basic constants of the global brand identity," said Evgeniya Struk, art director of the agency. - After choosing the main graphic direction, we focused on delicate selection of materials and colors. Snapshots of hundreds of product samples replaced each other until the "the one" was found. The search for red color also went beyond the pantone fan: we carried everything that could come under the definition of "suitable red" to the office. The choice of packaging material played a crucial role in achieving a brilliant result: we strived for a deep red color with noble brilliance, sparkling gold and a realistic snapshot of the product.
- We are very pleased with the cooperation with the Depot WPF team and the final result, - said Olga Shakhova, brand manager KitKat. - The new package received high appraisal on consumer tests and was perceived by consumers as premium. And, indeed, the product stands out favorably on the shelves of stores, keeping the brand recognizable and attracting attention to the novelty.
