Describe the challenges and key objectives
Owing to hectic schedules, many non-professional cooks do not have the time to devote themselves to the art of cooking. They often have an average opinion of their food, and often look for ways to make it taste better. Our objective was to make Cholula Hot Sauce indispensable at the dinner table and demonstrate that anything can taste supremely good with it.
Describe the brief from the client
Design point-of-sale posters that demonstrate how Cholula Hot Sauce can make ordinary everyday food taste supremely good.
Describe how you arrived at the final design
Most condiment advertising often focuses on making great food (whipped up by gourmet chefs) taste even better. We wanted an approach that was more relevant, insightful, and humourous. Hence the idea of 'rescuing food'. We turned this into a visual pun, demonstrating how Cholula Hot Sauce literally rescues animals (food sources) from perilous situations. For a more quirky feel, we decided to use illustrations.
Give some indication of how successful the outcome was in the market
The in-store campaign achieved outstanding product recall and increased sales of Cholula Hot Sauce by almost 150%. Consumers loved the fresh and funny approach to condiment advertising and some returned to request for the posters. This helped the store to achieve even higher sales than usual.
The Design & Branding titled RESCUE was done by JWT Singapore advertising agency for product: Cholula Hot Sauce (brand: CHOLULA INTERNATIONAL) in Singapore. It was released in the Apr 2010.
