Result after Shining’s intervention: The repositioned Amrutanjan
was launched in 2011. Within 6 months of launch it has shown 25% growth.
Disruptive change
Background: Amrutanjan is India’s inventor of external remedy for pain since 1893. It’s an outstanding heritage brand that at least 80% Indians know. Amrutanjan was known as a single category whereas its brand power
had the potential to become a big mega brand. A new strategy was required to make the brand contemporary and expand the category. Amrutanjan gave us a comprehensive project, from R&D to marketing, branding, structural packaging, retail activation strategy and execution upto advertising communication.
The past
Our insight finding from the market: Aside from high brand awareness, Amrutanjan products have outstanding value being the blend of science and
nature, and are totally non-harming with no side effects on application. So the brand’s potential to stretch to other categories was enormous.
New strategy: We repositioned Amrutanjan brand to connect to the modern digital technology world and to young consumers. We created a brand architecture which empowers each category with its defined benefit.
Even with the same brand, we created two distinct differentiations in the market for the trade by calling them Pain management and Congestion management instead of clubbing them as rubeficient category as recognized by the market.
The central theme we created for Amrutanjan is “Pure Healthy Essence.” The two category definitions are “Kick Out Pain” for Pain management and “Relief” for Congestion management.

Inventive structural packaging to change brand perception:
The Congestion management market is driven with old fashioned structural packaging in different formats like an outdated jar to a small box container which is very difficult to open.
In contract, we created designs that have displaced the old fashioned character of the market. The sleek structural packaging for the adult product Aaah! Relief, looks like a sophisticated jar of cream, very different from the mundane, cylindrical medical containers competitors use. Its differentiation is highlighted for maximum retail shelf impact
Innovative marketing to increase the category engagement: As these are low consumer involvement categories, we had to find a way to increase involvement in them. We created multiple designs for the Pain management
product “Roll-On” as an on-the-move headache solution to break the monotony of balm and targeted it for the youth. Similarly in Congestion Management, we factored in consumer age for the first time in the category. We created multiple designs in the children’s category calling it “Wuhoo! Relief” and distinguished it from the adult application which we named“Aaah! Relief.”
High quality strategy & execution for retail activation collaterals: With high emphasis on retail activation, we designed retail collaterals in
such a way that the brand creates a huge impact either for the shelf or for
the counter.
