The Rebellious Chickpea

Background Information

The Problem
What was available in the market was either over-priced health food that
doesn’t taste good, or really delicious food that's unhealthy. So, people had
to choose between “eating to live” and “living to eat.” The third option is food
that is marketed as healthy, but is heavily processed, with artificial additives,
which in fact, is unhealthy. Confused yet? No worries.

The Solution
The Rebellious Chickpea (TRC) was created to offer people food that is both
healthy and delicious so they can eat to live AND live to eat.

What TRC offers
Food that’s natural, whole, fresh, and is both delicious and healthy.

The name
While chickpeas are healthy, they also have a reputation for being boring and holier-than-thou. If it were a person, it would be the virgin next door you’d marry rather than have a fling with. But a rebellious one, now that’s different! A rebellious one excites you and leads you to temptation. And why not?

The tagline
Eat to live, and live to eat

The TRC brand is guided by the philosophy that people can have healthy food that is delicious and fun. All business, marketing and communication decisions is based on this philosophy.

Brand Values
Healthy & sustainable lifestyle
Minimal use of plastics. No polystyrene. Packaging is re-usable and recyclable.
Meat is sourced from cruelty-free farms e.g. free-range and organic
Believes that natural, whole foods with minimal processing (as opposed to highly processes food with artificial additives), is the way to good health.
Quirky, young at heart and always exciting.

Mongrel Pride

Background Information
In Malaysia, mongrels and stray dogs and cats are considered dirty and inferior. Constantly at the mercy of cruel dog/cat catchers, they are also abused by the public at large.

Brand statement
Mongrel Pride champions the rights of mongrels and strays to live the quality of life they deserve.

The name
The name Mongrel Pride represents the pride that mongrels feel when given the chance to shine. When rescued, given good nutrition, trained and treated well can be even smarter, healthier and better than pedigrees that are neglected.

Tagline
Dignity, Honour & Wicked Hugs!

The tagline shows off the best in mongrels because they have dignity, honour, and are generous with their wicked “hugs."

The spirit of this tagline must be applied in all communications campaigns, from online to offline, advertising, marketing, PR campaigns to events.

How this tagline can be applied

Mongrel Pride T-shirts.
Most charity t-shirts are designed by volunteers, hence not very cool. Many of them seem to plead for donation, adoption, or just to be loved. Mongrel Pride t-shirts have cool designs because they show pride. The “pride” factor comes from the fact that they know they can be just as good as pedigrees, hence do not need to plead for love.

Mongrel Pride Dog & Cat Show
This event is open only to mongrels and rescued pets. Normally, dog & cat shows are only for pedigrees. But the Mongrel Pride Dog & Cat show is for mongrels. This gives them the opportunity to show-off the fact that mongrels can be beautiful and smart.

Social Media Posts
All posts on social media must show pride, intelligence, a cool attitude, and compassion. Posts are based on interesting information, witty statements, achievements, etc…
Example: The Mongrel Pride Hall of Fame on Facebook honours mongrels with great achievements. Achievements include saving someone’s or another animal’s life, donating blood to an animal in need of transfusion, helping the physically or mentally disabled, or being of service in a farm, factory or workplace.

All communications involve different ways of conveying one strong statement – that mongrels are proud of who they are, and deserve recognition!

Brand Values
Mongrels are unique. We don’t believe in conformity.
We are no longer timid and ashamed.
We have known suffering, hunger and pain, and come out triumphant!
We have something to contribute to the world, stories to tell, wisdom to share.
Yes, we have shed sweat and blood… but never will we shed tears!
We're a new breed of pride.
