The Challenge

Customers knew traditional grills and fire pits. WATRAG had to introduce a different product experience — starting with no Instagram audience, no content system and no recognizable digital presence. The task: turn a functional product into a desirable lifestyle brand.

  • Clear brand positioning and differentiation.
  • Consistent visual and communication direction.
  • Brand awareness and recognition from zero.
  • Emotional and functional value of the product.
  • Lifestyle venues and B2B partners.
  • Brand development connected to commercial outcomes.
What We Did

How we approached it

Don’t sell the fire

People don’t buy a fire pit just to make a fire. They buy what happens around it: conversations late into the evening, cooking together, weekend escapes, gatherings with friends and family.

Brand identity

A logo system, five-colour palette, Unbounded Bold and Stem Light typography, highlight covers and Stories templates.

Positioning & communication

Key themes, tone of voice, audience motivations and purchase scenarios — one direction applied across social media, ads and partnerships.

Creative direction & production

A visual world around the product — warm firelight, authentic gatherings, live BBQ, premium details. 7 turnkey shoots, from concept to edit.

Real-world partnerships & ads

Collaborations with outdoor destinations and lifestyle venues, including Dogoda. Meta Ads then turned awareness into demand.

Real world & performance

From digital branding to real experiences

Collaborations with outdoor destinations and lifestyle venues — including Dogoda — put WATRAG into real leisure settings, generated authentic content and opened B2B opportunities. Meta Ads then turned awareness into demand: segmentation, lead and messaging campaigns, traffic, remarketing and message testing.
