HITTING THE SWEET SPOT WITH THE TARGET AUDIENCE WITH AN UPCYCLED BITE.

—THE CHALLENGE

In their quest to foster a more sustainable world, Gudrun started exploring new ways that could genuinely revolutionize our relationship with nature. When they introduced an innovative upcycled chocolate bite, using the wasted pulp of the cacaofruit, it was all about telling that story just right, hitting the sweet spot with the target audience and creating a visual identity that celebrates its wonderful taste. Enter Catchafish.

—THE RESULT IN POSITIVE CHANGE

A first strong impression was made on their First Sustainable Event where Gudrun proudly unveiled their challenging upcycled chocolate bite to the world.

Just 2 months later, Gudrun was awarded second place in the ISM Innovation Award during the International ISM Sweets & Snack Fair in Cologne, turning their groundbreaking chocolate bite into the buzz of the fair. Talk about a kickoff with a bang! A perfect start to forging new leads and gearing up to conquer the world. Gudrun’s status as a sustainability pioneer was absolutely confirmed.

STRATEGY

Together with the people of Gudrun, we built a sustainable-proof strategy and created a dedicated platform, MORE, nested under the Gudrun umbrella. This became the perfect stage to communicate their powerful vision and ambitious sustainable mission.

In this context Uppa was born, a fresh retail brand designed to unleash their innovative upcycled chocolate bites on the world. We worked side by side with Gudrun, steering them towards the right direction to ensure the best possible impact in the global market for this inspiring new product.

BRANDING & BRAND NAME

Catchafish created a stand out brand that could fully communicate this exciting story. We wanted to bring a positive story with a catchy vibe, so we called the new brand Uppa. Targetting on a totally different audience than the traditional pralines and truffle buyers, we needed to create a powerful and modern visual, that could reflect both the sustainable vision, the innovative hook of the products and the contemporary attitude in which the products are alive.

PACKAGING DESIGN

No sustainable story and no upcycled product without a sustainable package. Fully upcycled cups were selected to carry the products: made of agricultural waste, CO2 neutral and with an environmental impact that is 47% lower than paper made of trees. Moreover, the choice of a cup was also obvious as we wanted to bring the product as a real on-the-go chocolate bite. Easy to grab, handy to travel and simple to enjoy.

"Catching a fish requires experience, patience, having insights about the environment, knowing how to work with your gear. You guys have those skills, that’s why you’re not ‘goingtofish’ but ‘catchafish’."

VISUAL IDENTITY

‍We captured the brand’s vision in a dynamic design that could literally grow in every detail, attract in every touchpoint and explode in every bite, inspiring the audience with its magnificent story. One rule: if you can make it upcycled, just do it. The booth fair at ISM, crafted with upcycled materials was a refreshing oasis between the gaudy and artificial exhibition booths, giving a stage to Uppa’s amazing story.
