Brief Explanation

This was more than just a new look for the Kleenex portfolio. This was about getting under the skin of consumers… To figure out who buys branded facial tissues, what they look for and shaping their perception of the Kleenex brand through design.

The Brief

Kleenex was in need of an overhaul: • Reliance on small number of SKUs for majority of revenue • Poor shelf presence with stagnant design language • Unrelated designs with lack of synergy across the range • Increasingly aggressive competitors • Imitation of core products Eager to connect with an increasingly youthful and sophisticated Arabian consumer base, Kleenex wanted to redesign their facial tissue portfolio. We were commissioned to rationalize the Kleenex facial tissue portfolio and redesign a new line-up to connect with GCC consumers.

How the final design was conceived

We analysed consumer needs and category attitudes to get to know the design sensitivities of Kleenex’s target consumers, as well as their emotional and functional requirements of facial tissues. Using this, we developed a roadmap to determine: • Which designs to keep? • Where were the redundancies & gaps? • How should designs be uplifted/created to connect with consumers?

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market
