Kalavapriikki
The Challenge
Kalavapriikki faced the challenge of positioning its premium fish food brand in a competitive market while highlighting its collaboration with Vääräniemi Fish Farm and Benella Fish. We were invited to help create a unified brand strategy and visual identity that would:
- Differentiate Kalavapriikki’s products in the marketplace.
- Emphasize the freshness and quality of their fish sourced from the purest waters in Finland.
- Strengthen their brand identity and elevate those of their collaborators, Vääräniemi Fish Farm and Benella Fish.
- Foster consumer trust and loyalty towards their products across supermarkets in Finland.
The work
Ahooy Creative collaborated with Kalavapriikki to develop a comprehensive brand strategy that supported their business development objectives. We worked on:
- Brand strategy: We gained an understanding of consumer preferences and market trends, and defined the brand’s values, and essence, emphasising sustainability, quality, and local sourcing.
- Visual and verbal identity: We designed a cohesive visual identity that reflects the premium nature of Kalavapriikki’s products. Then we moved on to updating the packaging for the Kalaonni brand, ensuring it stood out in supermarket fish sections.
- Implementation: We rolled out the new visual identity across all marketing channels, including packaging, advertising, and in-store displays then launched a communication campaign to educate consumers about the benefits of choosing Kalavapriikki, Vääräniemi, and Benella fish products. We developed communication and branding materials for Vääräniemi Fish Farm and Benella Fish to align them with Kalavapriikki’s overarching brand narrative.
The results
Our collaboration with Kalavapriikki yielded impressive results:
- Kalavapriikki’s products, under the Kalaonni brand, became easily recognizable in supermarkets due to their vibrant and distinct packaging.
