Bacanha Brut Pistache: the “Before it turned green” campaign concept

Personal project, not affiliated with the brand

An independent art direction concept for Bacanha pistachio syrup: category research, an idea built on the pink pistachio fruit and a campaign of 9 AI frames.

In short

Brand
Bacanha, Brut Pistache syrup. Personal project, not affiliated with the brand.
Goal
Give the syrup an image that belongs only to it. In this category, pistachio is always green sprinkles and a packshot on white.
Idea
“Before it turned green”. A fresh pistachio on the tree is pink and cream, so the bottle sits inside the shell like a jewellery box.
My role
Market research, concept, art direction, AI frames, label check.
Result
A 9-frame campaign with the label true to the original and one light for the whole series.

Start

A bottle that doesn't look like syrup

Bacanha pistachio syrup had no image of its own: in the category pistachio means green sprinkles and a packshot on white, and the brand barely showed it on Instagram.


01 · The problem

In the category, pistachio is always green

In syrups, pistachio means green sprinkles and a packshot on white. The brand itself barely showed it on Instagram. I was looking for an image that would belong only to this syrup.

A set of syrup ads from the category: bottles, green, cafés
Category research. Not my work.

02 · What I turned down

Two directions that did not make it

Rejected board: the bottle in similar frames, AI generated
The first board. One photo in nine versions. Pretty, but with no taste and no idea.
Rejected frame: the bottle next to a sprig of pink pistachios, AI generated
The fruit next to the bottle. The fruit was just decoration placed next to the product.

The fruit had to be part of the image, not an extra. Hence the shell as a jewellery box.


03 · The decision

Before it was green

A fresh pistachio on the tree is pink and cream, and the green is only inside. I turned the fruit into a case: the bottle sits inside the shell. Working line: “Avant le vert”, before it turned green.
