The Challenge
Lutz Tool had just acquired a fledgling adhesive brand called Gorilla Glue when we began working with them. They wanted to launch the brand at retail in a way that disrupted incumbent brands and captured the imagination of shoppers.
The Solution
So we helped them flesh out brand assets and reinvent the aisle with a bold, confident, and quirky brand. The brand focused on the “gorilla” name, with lifelike animal hands holding the product. A vibrant orange palette was created to allow the brand to stand out and take over the retail aisle. It intrigued buyers and consumers, and created a new premium position in the adhesive industry.
Results
- From unknown to category leader
- Increased brand awareness that fueled category expansion
- Company name changed from Lutz Tool to The Gorilla Glue Co.
