Zurick Vodka: Curtain Raiser
Brief:
Zurick is an upcoming premium vodka brand in Nepal, which will share the shelf space with other premium vodka such as Ruslan, Grey Goose, and more. It is a six times distilled spirit, and will be promoted as one of the superior vodkas. The project required us to come up with a tagline, look & feel of the brand, and activities to help promote the brand.
UNDERSTANDING THE CONSUMERS
‘It’s my way, or the highway!’ ‘Young, Wild & Free!’
That’s the attitude our consumers live by. They are young, lively, free-spirited, trendy, love to explore, party hard and have fun! Not bound by the ‘Dos’ and ‘Don’ts’ orthodox have set up for every individual; they have a ‘IDGAF’
mentality.
Highly driven by digital media, our consumers spend most of their time on their electronic device, be it their laptop, tablet or mobile phone. They are quick to know which new song is being released, who’s wearing what and aspire to follow the global trends in music, fashion and lifestyle.
CREATING A BRAND IDENTITY
Our brand identity must sync with our consumer’s thinking and interests, while also adding an aspirational value to the brand.
Taking the ethos of our consumers and aspirations into consideration, one word that sums it all is ‘Freedom’.
This philosophy of freedom is what we carry out through all our communication, be it tagline, creative, or even radio, posters and TVCs in the later phase.
Tagline: THE SPIRIT OF FREEDOM
The Spirit of Freedom doesn’t just mean the freedom to go clubbing and party. It means to listen to music they want to, dress the way they want, hang out with people they want, choose a career they want and as a whole, just be the way they want.
Not bound by conventional traits a person should follow or peer pressure, we as a brand is asking our consumers to embrace their true self, explore it, love it, accept it and just have fun.
Be free, be you. Embrace the spirit of freedom!
LABEL DESIGNS
As a vodka brand, purity and clarity should be a trait we shouldn’t miss while designing the label. Using silver makes it seem so much more elegant, and gives a look that represents a pure vodka.

Here, everybody is blurred except a very happy girl who seems to be having a great time in her own world. We are using that level of free-spiritedness to describe- ‘The Spirit of Freedom.’
Theek Talk
A platform where people can voice their ‘Theek talk.’
WHAT IS THEEK TALK?
It’s your expression of spirit of freedom, embracing individualism and putting forth your opinion or thoughts on normal everyday things such as music, sports, lifestyle, fashion, etc.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Every month, people will be able to choose a topic or a question. Throughout the month these question will be asked to various celebrities. The 2-5 minutes interview will be conducted in various lively places such as swimming poop, pub, bars, etc where Zurick will be placed on the table.
As celebrities are expressing their opinion, our consumers can also post their thoughts on the same on digital media using #ZurickTheekTalk and tagging us.
Topics will be non-political and people are not allowed to malign anybody or any community.
