Case Study
Summary
Aware Super, an underdog brand with low awareness, found its voice by building a strategy around a core truth: its commitment to "help." By turning its internal pink character, "Sam," into a distinctive brand mascot, the campaign brought warmth and personality to a complex category. This approach successfully grew membership faster than the category, proving that simple fundamentals can deliver outsized results and a significant uplift in funds.
