Design Challenge

A key challenge of this project is promoting the brand's philosophy and raising consumer awareness of the shaving culture in the Japanese market, where design aesthetics are highly valued.

Research

Using the STP analysis tool, we identify potential communication targets within the Japanese male market. Combining the Golden Circle theory with core brand values and target personas, we define key products to strengthen brand differentiation.
•User Experience Focuses on visual design for user touch points, engaging the target audience through the website.
•Packaging Creates an impactful unboxing experience to enhance resonance and likability among the Japanese demographic.
•Community Building Establishes an online community for users to share beard grooming knowledge and ideas, raising the profile of grooming culture through social platforms.

Inspiration

Through Japanese male magazine media and consumer surveys, we discovered that the perspective of beards are no longer just about being clean-shaven; grooming them to showcase personal charm has been increasingly accepted in Japanese society in recent years. In Western cultures, using facial hair to express male attractiveness has been a long-standing tradition.

Project Duration

This project was launched in July 2024 at deeeep creative lab in New Taipei, Taiwan. The packaging and web design were completed in September of the same year, with the official launch scheduled for mid-December 2024.

Operation Flow

URBANER is emphasizing that grooming is not only a daily ritual but also a way to express personal style and daily fashion.
For packaging design, using various fonts to interpret the brand's concept of Everyone's CHIC is unique. The inner box showcases simple and easy-to-use grooming product specifications, meeting the Japanese market's demand for quick usability.
The experience journey focuses on high-quality, easy-to-use grooming tools that simplify the trimming process, making the entire grooming experience smoother and more natural. This supports the brand's attitude that Grooming is stylish and fashionable.
