Discover how we reinvented this high-octane Thai energy drink brand for the hip global youth market.

Before beginning the creative design, we carried out a fact-finding mission to build up a detailed understanding of where the brand stood and, more importantly, where the client wanted it to go. We started by analysing the existing packaging and how Shark was being advertised and sold.

There were a number of problems with the existing bottle – it looked as if it contained medicine, the label was small and dated, the name was lost and the image of a shark lacked bite. The only people buying Shark were Thai labourers who needed an energy boost.

We talked to our client about their aims for the brand and discovered that they wanted to make a big splash. Our challenge was to take this local drink to a global youth market. Because it had to compete in the very aggressive energy drink sector, we needed to create real stand-out and build credibility.

Our first step was to develop a range of solutions that could give Shark the respect it deserved.
