YABA cachaça

Challenge

Create a master Innovation Strategy dedicated to sustainability, to export premium beverage better, faster, and more.

Solution

The term YABÁ refers to the Yoruba dialect and translates to “the mother who nurtures her children.” The concept was brought to Brazil during the formation of our identity, becoming part of our mixed local culture, and now represents the feminine entities that care for the culture and well-being of their people.

With a nod to Brazilian identity, we seek to recount the story of our cultural formation, of the people, the economic cycles, and the generations of Indigenous Natives, African, and European immigrants. We bring this historical importance to the present, unifying and redefining the richness of our heritage. Through form, colour, and material, the design recreates the artistic and creative expression of the Brazilian spirit.

The triangular neckless design highlights and enhances the presence of the cachaça in the market, while optimizing logistics and storing (saving 86% of space) promotes profits.

It also offers improved ergonomics for serving. Its shape and natural material provide a better grip. The applied design strategy facilitated the introduction of this new brand and product into the market.

 

The cultural heritage at its core. Get in the Spirit.
