Amintiri

Overview

Amintiri is a premium dessert and cafe brand in a category where every competitor sounds the same: handcrafted, artisanal, premium. The communication was repetitive across the board, making differentiation nearly impossible through product language alone.

Approach

The shift was from product to occasion. Instead of highlighting the dessert, communication was built around the moments it belongs to: intimate celebrations, small gatherings, personal milestones. Birthday campaigns were designed to feel like extensions of the occasion rather than promotional pushes. The tone stayed soft and unforced, creating a sense of presence around the brand rather than selling at people.

Case Study — 02 · AI Food Product

FoodBud.ai

Overview

FoodBud.ai sits at the intersection of food and AI. The challenge: making the product feel simple without losing its value. Most AI products over-explain or go too technical, creating friction at the very first interaction.

Approach

The focus was on making the product feel intuitive — not explaining what the AI does, but showing how it fits into everyday decisions. Core insight: users don't struggle with access to food, they struggle with deciding what to make and how to use what they already have. Content was built around real situations: not knowing what to cook, random ingredients with no plan, trying to eat consistently. Technical language was cut entirely. Product functionality came through use cases, not features.

Case Study — 03 · Beverage Brand

Booster Water

Overview

Booster Water is a functional beverage brand positioned as "an upgrade" — a companion for every mood, every occasion. The challenge was launching an entirely new brand in the beverage space with zero existing awareness, building identity, voice, and a content system from the ground up.

Approach

I was brought in at the brand-building stage. The tone direction was casual yet catchy — approachable enough to feel like a friend recommending you something, distinct enough to stand out in a crowded shelf. The brand's premise: it doesn't matter whether it's a lazy Monday morning or a crazy Friday night, Booster has a version for you. That versatility became the content system's backbone, with each variant (Whiskey, Tonic, Black) given its own personality within the same brand world.

What I Built

Website copywriting across all pages with the defined casual-catchy tone. Ideated and executed the full brand launch on social media — creatives and copies. Deeply involved in the ideation, brainstorming and conceptualizing of the Logo design and UI/UX of the website. Each variant had its own visual identity: "True Companion Of", "The Better Half", "The Power Of" — campaign lines that gave every product a distinct story.

Output

Brand went from zero to a fully realized identity across digital touchpoints. The Instagram grid launched with a cohesive aesthetic and a clear voice that made the brand feel established from day one.

Case Study — 04 · Co-Living Brand

Yello! Living

Overview

Yello! Living operates in the co-living space where most brands compete on pricing, location and amenities. The category is crowded with similar messaging, making differentiation extremely difficult at a communication level.

Approach

The direction was to stop selling the property and focus on the phase of life the user is in. For most users, this is their first time living away from home — figuring out routines, friendships and independence. Communication was built around everyday experiences rather than features: adjusting to a new city, forming new social circles, the small daily routines that come with living alone. The tone stayed conversational, sounding like someone who has already been through this phase, not a brand selling it.

Case Study — 05 · Sports Culture Brand

Bhaichung Bhutia Football Schools

The Challenge

India doesn't have football culture the way it has cricket culture. The target audience — parents in metros and tier-2 cities — had no emotional reference for what enrolling their child in a football academy could mean for their future. Every existing ad talked about coaching quality, facilities, coaches' credentials. None of it was moving the needle.

The Strategic Shift

Stop marketing a sport. Start marketing an outcome. Parents don't want footballers. They want confident, disciplined, resilient adults. Football is the vehicle, not the destination. Every format — video scripts, hooks, carousels — was rebuilt around this truth. Myth vs Reality scripts addressed specific parental doubts head-on. Parent-addressed hooks spoke to the decision-maker, not the child asking for it.

Contribution

Creative strategy and insight development, video scripting across multiple formats, hook architecture, ad copy across the full funnel, content system for seasonal admissions cycles.
