How a Singapore Lifestyle Brand Used Contrast Gift Design to Create a Viral Mid-Autumn Campaign
Our client, a contemporary lifestyle brand based in Singapore, was planning their VIP client appreciation gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival. They wanted to create a gift that would not only express gratitude but also generate conversation and social media buzz, reflecting their brand's identity as creative and culturally aware. They were inspired by Burberry's wooden fish set and wanted to apply similar "contrast aesthetics" to their own campaign.
Challenge: Creating a Gift That Balances Tradition and Trend
The client's marketing team began their search for a 'best corporate gift supplier' and explored 'creative corporate gift ideas for client'. Their key requirements were a gift that could be fully customised, produced in bulk with fast delivery, and most importantly, create a "wow" moment. They also needed to stay within a budget corporate gift limit while maintaining premium quality. They specifically looked for 'sample available' and 'corporate gift quotation' options before engaging our services.
Solution: The "Unexpected Blessing" Gift Box
We collaborated with the client to develop a contrast gift that combined traditional Mid-Autumn elements with a playful, modern twist. The final concept featured a premium wooden incense set paired with mini mooncakes, all housed in a sleek box that juxtaposed traditional motifs with contemporary design. We worked through the following steps:
Step 1: Theme Definition – We established "Unexpected Blessings" as the core concept.
Step 2: Product Selection – We sourced a high-quality incense burner set and partnered with a premium mooncake maker.
Step 3: Packaging Design – We created a box that told a visual story of contrast, using traditional colours with modern typography.
Step 4: Sample Production – We produced a physical sample within 5 working days for client approval.
Step 5: Bulk Production – After approval, we proceeded with a bulk order of 200 sets, well above our minimum order 50pcs.
Step 6: Delivery – We arranged ast bulk delivery to their Singapore office within 10 working days.
Result: Social Buzz and Strengthened Client Relationships
The gift boxes were met with overwhelming enthusiasm. Recipients shared their unboxing experiences across Instagram and LinkedIn, generating significant organic reach for the brand. The client reported that several VIP clients mentioned the gift in follow-up meetings, strengthening business relationships. The campaign was so successful that the client has already planned a reorder for the upcoming Chinese New Year, with a new contrast concept.
