Creative idea

How do you launch a completely new brand in a highly contested but typically boring category like adhesives? Naming the product in a way that everyone would already be familiar with it from day one: Enter WTF. World's Toughest Fix, the world's first lifestyle adhesive brand. The WTF mentality was showcased in tough product design, a strong anthem featuring Pasi & Anssi, and demonstrations of toughness with influencers. WTF focused on non-traditional channels and created content that resonated with the target audience. From day one, WTF had brand recognition and brand love on par with many well-established brands.The launch exceeded all the business targets.
