Evian

As observed in London, nationally evian stood out as an iconic brand, but without closeness and ‘youthful’ perceptions. The campaign shows that we have reinforced London’s affinity with the brand: still considered iconic, and the brand that Londoners feel closest to with the youthful message delivered. Brand Equity
