COR DE COCO

Cor de Coco needed to revitalise the brand with a fresh, modern look that incorporated environmentally friendly and shelf-safe packaging. Additionally, it was expanding the product range into new categories, so the revised identity needed to be versatile enough to appeal beyond the existing audience.

  Background

  After successfully launching Cor de Coco in Woolworths and independent grocery stores, the original ownership dissolved. Recognizing the brand’s untapped potential and the health benefits it offered Australians, the Emerger Team took the opportunity to acquire full ownership. That’s right—this one’s ours now.

  Packaging

  Our premium coconut iced coffee range initially came in sleek glass bottles, offering a top-tier drinking experience. However, glass was prone to breakage and expensive to produce. We needed a packaging solution that was not only more environmentally friendly but also addressed the durability issues and resonated with consumers who value both brand appeal and product quality.

  Brand Asset Development

  Exceptional branding and marketing require high-quality assets. To breathe new life into our brand, we conducted multiple photo shoots, capturing the products, ingredients, and hero content essential for building a compelling website and effectively marketing our brand to both consumers and stakeholders.

  Key Messaging & Positioning

  As passionate storytellers, we poured our creativity into crafting our brand narrative. With three out of five family members lactose-intolerant, but all of us being foodies at heart (read unwilling to sacrifice on texture and flavour) this brand became the ultimate creative and product development challenge. FOR DAIRY DODGERS, FLAVOUR CHASERS & STORY MAKERS landed as our hero message, whichnow serves as the guiding principle for all our copy and shapes our ongoing tone of voice.

  Marketing & Influencer Engagement

  We handle all our marketing and influencer engagement in-house, always on the lookout for the right user-generated content (UGC) partnerships. We collaborate with brand ambassadors whenever it’s feasible, ensuring our connections are authentic and impactful.

  Website

  We didn’t need an overly fancy website, so we built it ourselves, prioritizing strong copywriting and high-end, bespoke assets. We’re proud of what we created.

  Product Development

  Cor de Coco was started to create a healthy and delicious alternative to dairy milk products. We wanted drinks that tasted great and didn't compromise on quality; they had to "feel" like the "real" milk alternative, without the dairy. As iced coffee fanatics this was where we started and it has grown from there to a dream that Cor De Coco will be the number one alternative dairy brand for health lovers.  We’re constantly evolving our range. Owning our own FMCG brand gives us the chance to walk the talk. We’re always testing new ideas in the market, staying ahead of trends, and pushing ourselves to create products we’re proud of—products our customers love with unwavering loyalty.

  Why Do We Love Coconuts?

  Coconuts are a vital resource, providing food, hydration, medicine, fuel, and building materials to communities from Cape York, Australia to Vietnam and Sri Lanka. They are among the most sustainable, healthy, and versatile plants on the planet. Our unique formulation includes at least 65% coconut water, making our drinks incredibly hydrating and packed with naturally occurring vitamins and minerals like potassium, magnesium, and vitamin C.

THE OLD ICED COFFEE PACKAGING…

“We knew the base of our iced coffees was excellent; smooth, creamy and the coconut flavour profile was minimal. There was no single serve, dairy-free shake option in the market - so we created one.”
