how to persuade with words and visuals.
And spent 2 more learning how to
craft narratives to build luxury brands and to reposition them.

Repositioning and rebranding for
Vespa and Aprilia.
Luxury Automobiles
Brief -
To reposition the brands for the luxury Indian market,
and to rebrand the entire product line.
Approach -
Brand stories were present, but the products lacked specific messaging.
This made it harder for the user to choose from the catalogue
and equally harder for the dealerships to sell.
We develope the product stories and statements by focusing on the
Purpose, Audience, Differentiation and Emotion.
With the stories, we rewrote the content for brochures and product pages.
For Vespa’s product story, we focused on product names.
Product Statement

Oldschool, Live More,

Once this project was completed,
product stories and statements
were communicated to dealerships,
brochures were made anew to
target the audiences better,
stories were translated to visuals for
banners and social media.
