Big Banyan
Premium Indian wines that needed to be reimagined as a brand, to communicate better with their consumer, the sophisticated wine drinker.
The Brief
image
After over a decade of launching their wines, Big Banyan decided it was time for change. Their wines were well-loved, but recall was a problem. Their passion for winemaking was not clearly translating into the brand communication. The imagery of their packaging needed a contemporary touch too. They went to the consumers and heard what they had to say. And thus, was born an exercise of strengthening their positioning, their brand story and their packaging.

Solution

Our conversations with the winemaker, the brand team and consumer research led us to discover key elements that made for an amazing brand story, and the problems it could solve. We decided to tell the tale of the terroir and their love for winemaking, bring alive the sophistication of the wines through new packaging, and keep brand recall at the forefront.

With the new packaging design, we brought the brand name front and center. Accents in gold, silver and rose gold differentiated the varietals and also added elegance to the bottles.

The reserve wine of Big Banyan is a much-treasured vintage. So, we upped the ante on sophistication. The bottle was sleek, and the gold accents and embossments made it a prized possession.

The Result

The golden hues and sweeter notes of the dessert wine needed a gentler appeal. We were inspired by the vines in their vineyard, and that took shape as the gold-leafed graphic on the packaging.

With the launch of the Big Banyan winery, we needed a stronger focus on the brand’s winemaking ethos. We created a series of films to demystify the process and bring to fore the three pillars of the brand – the land of its origins, the lore behind it and their love for winemaking.
