Belgian sauce manufacturer Manna is refreshing its packaging and has asked iO to bring this to people's attention creatively. As a long-term partner, the blended agency has developed a brand campaign with a playful twist to increase brand awareness.
Manna needed a refresh for its product labels. To visually update them and anchor the brand name in the minds of the general public, iO developed a creative branding campaign.
"More than highlighting the new product labels, we wanted the campaign to raise brand awareness. We are confident that - thanks to iO's creative concept and media planning - it will make Manna an even stronger Belgian brand, known and trusted by many." - Philippe Deben , marketing manager at Manna.
The hybrid campaign was launched last week and appears on relevant media through television commercials, out-of-home initiatives on campuses, online videos, and social media posts.
Under the well-known tagline 'Relax, pour sauce over it,' it playfully focuses on self-acceptance. The message is, 'As long as you feel good.' Just like the Manna sauces, which remain delicious – regardless of their looks. This way, iO increases brand awareness and puts Manna at the top of consumers' shopping lists.
Manna and blended agency iO have worked together for over a decade across the entire marketing spectrum. Because iO knows Manna as a brand and business inside out, the blended agency has successfully increased consumers' love for the brand in recent years.
"With the well-received campaigns and posts for Manna, we consciously tap into current events, always with a wink. And it pays off: people now choose the brand more consciously, which they might have bought before but didn't perceive as a beloved personality," says Nico Goossens , Senior Art & Design Director at iO.
