Overview

Description

The objective of Aquarius, a sports drink with mineral salts, was to reposition itself so as to appeal to consumers beyond the world of Sports. 2011 was a crucial year to propel this change and connect with consumers beyond the conventional media.

Aquarius had to change its destiny so we set our consumers a challenge. We wanted to inspire them to break away from conventions and show them that, in a way, force of habit may unconsciously restrict our freedom of choice.The creative idea is based in a small but hugely defining hallmark: Our name. It is given to us from birth and it marks us, for better or for worse, for our whole lives. It’s something we didn’t choose. To solve this problem we created an on-line agency to provide assistance with the legal paper work for changing your name.
