Crown Paints - Crown Solo: The Paint that Rewrites the Rules - IPA Effectiveness Awards Case Study 1990

Brief Description: Crown paints was the no.2 brand but it was vulnerable due to price-cutting and own label brands. Brand innovation was needed to warrant higher price and volume. New product and pack was developed. Media: TV launch (Central region), supported by press and posters. National launch later. Results: sales and share growth, price premium maintained, and grown over brand leader, Dulux. Crown Solo has grown the Crown brand as a whole, without cannibalisation. Spectacular reversal of declining share of the white gloss paint sector. ;---(TAGS)--- Full Title: Crown Solo : the paint that rewrites the rules ; Number: 1990/202 ; Brand Name: Crown Paints ; Crown Solo ; Client: Crown Berger ; IPA_ProductCoding: DIY goods/Home improvements (Decorating products - paints/varnishes etc.) ; Agency: J Walter Thompson ; Author: Terry Prue ;
