Urbaner is a brand and service strategy for a beard grooming product created for the Japanese market. The strategy covers product planning, a responsive one-page website, packaging and an online community. The trimmer uses a motor and high-carbon steel blades made in Japan, and its compact form allows beard adjustment at any time. The packaging combines varied typography with a simple inner box that explains product use. Urbaner presents grooming as a way to express personal style, and the website guides visitors from first interest to purchase.

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. - 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.
