Shaping Oyalo's Debut in Redefining Frozen Food Excellence

Oyalo, the frozen food subsidiary (formerly) of Hatsun – one of India's largest private dairies, marked its debut across Hatsun Distribution Centers. The challenge lay in Hatsun's foray into frozen foods, leveraging its robust dairy cold chain distribution. Launching a brand for ready-to-eat offerings, into the skepticism of Indian consumers accustomed to hot meals, required a strategic approach starting right from the brand name, the voice, the design language, and more. Our goal was to create a clutter-breaking identity for this emerging brand, making its mark on the audience.

Branding

  • One MG was tasked with creating a brand name for Oyalo which should, in line with Hatsun’s naming ideology, be catchy and easy to remember while having no meaning in 5 Indian and international languages.
  • Focus Group Discussions were conducted to the gauge the popularity of the brand names we came up with where Oyalo emerged a clear winner.
  • The brand identity of Oyalo was depicted through a leaf illustrated in a steamy silhouette, forming a wing, suggestive of the main 3 aspects of Oyalo – Hot, Quick, Vegetarian Food.

Packaging

  • The packaging for Oyalo was designed for multiple variants, their frozen snacks and chilled ready to eat food. Multiple factors had to be kept in mind while designing it:
    • Attention grabbing graphics
    • The amount of storage space it occupied
    • Overall cost and ease of manufacturing the packaging

BTL Collaterals

  • The go - to - market campaign for Oyalo began with multiple BTL activations across stores, apartments, residential colonies and public parks.
  • Executed as a bilingual campaign (Tamil and English) to appeal to both the masses and classes, the communication was largely centred around convenience and health.
