Shaya by CaratLane has found a new voice. And it’s Shreya Ghoshal. As Shaya celebrates its 8th birthday, the silver jewellery brand has brought Shreya Ghoshal on board as its new brand ambassador for its latest Stories Written in Silver campaign. But from a branding perspective, what makes this partnership interesting is the connection between the person and the brand idea. Shaya is built around silver as a form of everyday self-expression: personal, versatile and shaped by the woman wearing it. Shreya’s own journey reflects a similar idea: evolving across languages, genres and generations while retaining a recognisable identity. It’s a reminder that a celebrity partnership works harder when the association goes beyond visibility. The right face shouldn’t just represent the brand. They should make the brand idea feel more natural, more memorable and more human. With Shreya now becoming part of Shaya’s story, the brand is giving its silver narrative a very recognisable voice. That’s the branding bit worth watching. #Branding #BrandingNews, #MarketingNews #BrandAmbassador #JewelleryBranding #BrandStorytelling #CelebrityBrandFit

Fresh from the studio: our latest brand design project. Some briefs ask you to fit in. Kozu asked us to create a category India hasn't seen before. Kozu brings caffeinated water to India, creating a new space between hydration and energy. And when a product creates a category that doesn't exist yet, the brand has to do the heavy lifting of making it instantly understood and impossible to forget. We started with the logotype. Bold, minimal, and built for easy readability, with generous spacing that lets it breathe. Splitting the wordmark into two parts, KO and ZU, wasn't just a stylistic choice. It was a structural one, designed to improve recall and build stronger affinity with the name. That same recall-first thinking shaped the packaging architecture. The height, the width, the way the bottle sits in your hand: every dimension was worked out to make the pack handy, comfortable, and attractive on the shelf, so the format works as hard as the logo to make Kozu memorable. The packaging design followed the same philosophy of restraint: keep it simple, keep the logo central, and let the product speak through true-to-flavour colourways. • Vivid green for Guava. • Warm coral for Peach & Passion. Clear, confident nutrition callouts (0 Added Sugar and 105 mg Caffeine) sit prominently on the pack, making key product information easy to spot and helping build trust from the first touch. From the mark to the mould, nothing here is decorative. Every choice was made to help Kozu stand out as a category of one. If you're building a category-first brand and need it to look, feel, and stick like one, let's talk.
