The Brief

Context

I led the end-to-end redesign of Tetley through a refreshed marketing campaign, Fuel Your Flow—a lifestyle-forward rebrand centered on wellness and energy.

As part of a comprehensive two-month course project, I redesigned product packaging, refined the brand tone, and created social campaign visuals. Through in-person competitor research, shelf audits, and market trend analysis, I identified gaps in market appeal and opportunities to modernize Tetley’s visual identity while preserving its roots.

Problem

Tetley, a popular english tea brand since 1837, has built trust through tradition, but with rising competition from youth positioned brands like DAVIDsTEA and Starbucks, Tetley's brand is facing a barrier connecting with younger audiences—losing its competitiveness, market share, and shelf space. A brand refresh and marketing campaign are required to help Tetley maintain its position as a key competitor in soft drinks industry.

Solution: The Big Idea

Position Tetley as an aspirational, sustainable drink that resonates with a new generation of tea drinkers. Tea is no longer just for winding down—it's a tool for focus, energy, and self-improvement. "Fuel Your Flow" reframes tea as a daily ritual for empowerment.

Pitch Deck

Conclusion

This rebrand positions Tetley as a bold, modern choice for a new generation of tea drinkers. By aligning the brand with youthful lifestyles, simplified packaging, and aspirational messaging, "Fuel Your Flow" reinvigorates Tetley’s identity while staying true to its roots in wellness and sustainability.

What Worked

•   Bold Redesign: Committing fully to bold brand colors and a visually impactful logo designed to stand out on shelves for younger markets
•   In-Person Insight: Visiting a range of stores—from convenience shops to large grocery chains—provided firsthand perspective and allowed me to self-evaluate through the perspective of a customer
•    Breadth of Research: Reviewed data from many sources, including consumer feedback, customer reviews, influencer commentary, and tea vs. coffee market data to better understand shifting preferences and identify challenges and growth opportunities


Future Refinement

•  Refining Assets: Further research into typography, including kerning and letter spacing, could create a more polished appearance
•  Secondary Research: Including implementation steps and competitor case studies with similar success in the pitch deck could have strengthened the credibility of my design decisions
