Dodie Brand Packaging Rejuvenation: Embracing Bespoke Softness

Dodie, a renowned French baby care brand with over 60 years of expertise, embarked on a brand packaging rejuvenation project to create an authentic and distinctive expression of bespoke softness. By leveraging its French origin and introducing the ambassador of softness, Valentin the Rabbit, Dodie aimed to connect with a younger generation of mothers. The holistic design strategy focused on showcasing Dodie's brand elements, including supreme quality, French style and spirit, and softness, through a new visual language and architecture.

Challenge

Premiumization is a dominant trend in the diapers category, with emerging niche brands on the rise. E-commerce channels are developing rapidly, while maternity and baby-care outlets remain the main offline channels. However, past iterations of Dodie product packaging have followed a conventional mindset, lacking the presence of the French DNA and failing to consistently communicate the brand's core value of softness.

To address these shortcomings, there is a need to define a holistic approach and direction for evolving all current and future product lines, ensuring a whole and consistent visual language and architecture that aligns with the trend towards premiumization and effectively communicates the essence of Dodie's supreme quality baby care products.
