Purati

Product Naming & Launch Strategy

A multi-national distribution company with a boastful FMCG portfolio, our client imports and exports Australian brands into eCommerce marketplaces such as Amazon, Ebay, Alibaba and Taobao.

The brief

Our client approached COG Strategy with a brief to deliver the oral care and cosmetics brand Purati Product Naming and Launch Strategy.

Purati is a herbal mouthwash product strategically created to be fundamentally Australian within the oral care and cosmetics FMCG category. A all natural mouthwash product sold through a dynamic eCommerce only supermarket network in Australia and overseas.

The COG Strategy Naming Ideation service is for new brand development like Purati, that require a strategic effort in the discovery of a new product and brand name. Our service was suited to our client as they were not resourced to strategically review the market and create the most strategic (and available) name and brand on their own.

Following the brand development COG Strategy was briefed by our client to create a launch Campaign Strategy that included a tactical critical path for a global eCommerce launch. Here we would need to identify the target market, demographics and geography per country and platform for this new oral care opportunity.

The COG Strategy Campaign Strategy was again relevant for our client as the business needed to connect with foreign and unknown markets though lacked the much needed strategic thinking to support their core ideas.

The COG Strategy Solution

Discovered via an emotionally astute and considered approach to naming ideation.

Supported by a tactical and strategic global eCommerce launch strategy.

Developing an available brand name is not easy in our products category, which is heavily saturated. And to ensure the product name is engaging to an identified global market audience is also a challenge. With a careful audit, discovery and asset ownership process, the Naming Ideation was successful via the COG Strategy patented strategic process. The result was a brand name and creative from COG Design that used the product ingredients and brand origin to connect with the target audience.

Launched via a suite of marketplace eCommerce Digital Marketing Campaign Strategies, the macro approach was to ensure the digital metrics (ROAS) delivered against the broader brief of brand awareness and eCommerce conversion.

With our client demanding attention to detail, a strict adherence to the newly developed brand story needed to be delivered across numerous platforms that were not in English and far from the typical eCommerce platforms our Sydney Strategy Agency had encountered before. The Purati product launch was a new challenge for COG Strategy and the broader COG Strategy Group, and we’d love to pour this knowledge into other great projects that require a similar skill set and approach.

The results

A successful retail eCommerce launch into 3 countries, and immediate unexpected wholesale interest and subsequent orders from the cut-through of the launch campaigns.

Brand recognition of a new product line in a difficult market and a solid creative direction still resonating and active through brand touchpoints today.
