Power in every sip

De la puissance à chaque gorgée

The project

YESS began as a single energy drink and evolved into a vibrant multi-flavour range.

Working closely with Acacia Food and Beverages Ltd, we developed the identity, packaging system and launch campaign — giving each flavour its own personality while keeping the range unmistakably YESS.

The range

One energy.

Five expressions.

One black label, one wordmark and one bolt of lightning carry every bottle. Colour is the only variable, and it does all the talking.

The campaign

Under the

lights

The campaign turned the range into a high-energy lineup, using stadium scale, floodlights and bold colour to put YESS at the centre of movement, intensity and performance.

Built to be

seen

One key visual, reworked for landscape, square and gantry formats so it reads at a glance from the road — in English for Zambia and French for the DRC.

From media to

distribution

The same system carries onto vans and trucks, taking the campaign from billboards to the road.
