Making breath-freshening bold, loud and impossible to miss

Redefining the role of a mint in a saturated market

Overview:

Smint is in the cluttered mint market, where every brand seems to focus on fresh breath confidence - we needed a new positioning and social strategy to stand out from the crowd.

Our Solution

Through market research, social listening and ongoing consumer surveys, we identified a new opportunity in the mint market. With females being the predominant mint buyer, and life being far more complex than confidence and exuberance, our insight led us towards a wellbeing and mindfulness route, where mints can be used as a ‘the downtime moment before the moment’, leading to a softer and calmer tone of voice.
