Girnar, the heritage tea brand, was no longer top-of-mind among tea drinkers. For, it had long been silent on the marketing and communication front, relying solely on its distribution.
Clearly, the need of the hour was to re-energise the brand by owning a distinct positioning within the tea category. One that would resonate with people across age groups and markets.
The challenge was to stand out amidst the clutter of messages like social awakening, fostering relationships and the morning space. All of which somehow neglected the 'tea break' aspect, which is at the core of tea being a refresher.
In times when people literally live for others - shouldering responsibilities, meeting deadlines, and fulfiling expectations - tea time is perhaps the only few minutes they get for themselves.
Hence was born a simple modern-day consumer insight that gave power back to the people.
And yet, kept 'chai' and the brand at the very center of the communication.
Essentially, we sold time, not just tea.
