How to profile a brand in a cluttered market

Client

Nobilis Tilia

Nobilis Tilia is a pioneer of Czech natural cosmetics. It has operated on the market since 1994. Since its inception, it constantly faces growing domestic and foreign competition, both truly natural and 'natural' cosmetics. Thanks to unrelenting insistence on their values, the founders of Nobilis gathered a solid community of loyal customers around their brand. Over time, however, they came to the conclusion that if they want to expand their customer circle, it is necessary to improve communication and design – meaning, to improve branding work.

What we did

Helped define the brand's essence and initiate the transformation into mainstream popular products

The brand foundation:
Being able to say why the customer should want us

The foundation of a strong brand is to explain clearly how it differs from hundreds of similar products. Nobilis Tilia cosmetics had the huge advantage of a customer base built over years that felt IT. They knew why they usually stay loyal to the brand after trying it out. The communication challenge, therefore, was how to pass this experience on to new customers.

The company had already done a lot for this. On the Czech market, it has the widest portfolio of products meeting the strictest certifications of natural and organic cosmetics. But that's not how a relationship is formed. Certifications are not the reason why members of the community love the products. They are 'only' proof of quality for those who need proof.

After a series of workshops with the marketing team and a thorough analysis of reviews and the experience of the sales team, a unifying fragment crystallized - besides exceptionally effective care, it is the aromatherapeutic effect. A dimension that competing products do not offer (either they don't have it, or they don't say it). Nobilis Tilia formulations are designed to help tune not only the body but also the mind, support health, calm, or conversely boost mood. Skin care is elevated to a ritual that harmonizes people's lives.

And exactly this is the position/uniqueness/principle with which Nobilis Tilia began to work when developing its brand. And they let it organically permeate all company communication.

Unified presentation:
Permeating the principle through all layers of communication

Products also needed to reflect the quality of content on their packaging. The system had to be simple, clear, and harmonious, even though the portfolio numbers over 350 different products.

We cleaned up visual clutter, guided attention to the essential, and strengthened the brand presentation.

Despite different packaging shapes and several product groups, a consistent style was maintained.

For everything to work, communicate, bring joy, be clear – it is necessary to consistently use the style, content, and spirit of the brand in every material that comes into contact with the customer.

Can we help with clear communication for your company too?

A strong vision shows the way

When you see that a strong shared vision exists inside a company, it is necessary to listen to it a lot. I díky ní mohou lidé z marketingu dělat kompetentní rozhodnutí, jako by to byli sami majitelé. Rádi jsme přispěli k přeměně téhle vize na viditelné výstupy – od strategických a obsahových věcí přes grafický design až po běžnou denní exekutivu. A těší nás, že existují firmy s tak ryzím přístupem k podnikání, jako je Nobilis Tilia. Rádi jsme s vámi spolupracovali. Děkujeme :)

Design that transformed brand perception

AnFas jsme vyhledali v době, kdy jsme řešili grafiku našeho časopisu. Po prvním čísle nám bylo jasné, že jsme našli parťáka, který nám pomůže k našemu cíli být více vidět způsobem konzistentní komunikace napříč všemi komunikačními kanály. Uhladili jsme spolu jednotný vizuální styl a všem novým materiálům tak vtiskli emoce a asociace spojované s naší značkou. Následovaly velké projekty – například změna etiket a nový web.

Díky této práci se ze skromné lokální značky stala značka sebevědomá, známá a velmi žádaná. Máme dokonce zprávy od našich zákazníků, kteří si naše tiskoviny dávají do rámečků ve svých salonech a každou novou tiskovinu nám velmi chválí. Stejně tak jsou nadšené i naše obchodní zástupkyně, které mají krásné podklady pro svou prezentaci klientům. Rostoucí obraty jsou jasným důkazem. Děkujeme. Je radost se na ten celek dívat.
