Approach
Corvis developed the Ayoka brand from scratch with the young founders. This includes the entire brand positioning, communication strategy, founder story, corporate design, website, investor documents, pitch sheets for retailers and the supporting implementation of the business plan.
We strategically decided not to establish a new energy drink. We opened a new drink category: the Good Mood Drink. A subcategory of functional drinks. This allowed us to aim for new placements in the trade.
An important ingredient is 5-HTP. It is converted in the brain into the happiness hormone seratonin. This ingredient is extracted from the African black bean. The name Ayoka also comes from Africa and means "she who brings joy." This is how we derived the brand name.
We decided to bring the combination of joy and art into a bold brand concept. The can was developed in collaboration with an artist Corvis found during an Instagram hashtag analysis.
