Pink is a must for the wafer!

Wetzel’s wafer really can tell stories.

Brand challenge

You could call Dillingen on the Danube the capital of the Wetzel wafer in Germany. Wetzel is a true original: as the only producer of original Karlsbad wafers in Germany, the brand combines craft, recipe and a special story. (Spoiler: here, too, a woman led the way.)

On the shelf, where every second counts, pink is Wetzel’s “finest” secret weapon – it stands out in the confectionery aisle in all its pinkness. But because pink wasn’t used consistently across the brand, that’s where we started – and brought blue along too.

Brand idea

Self-similarity wins on the shelf.

Now pink is the clear brand colour, supported by blue. Logo and pack are now in harmony. The finest pink colour code, linking shelf and communication.

Result & impact

Pink remains the finest secret weapon.

The freshly baked look gives Wetzel clarity on the shelf and in communication. New products can be integrated without diluting the brand core. What comes next remains a sweet secret.

„Anyone who changes everything at Wetzel risks exactly what makes the brand strong. We didn’t invent the pink – we sharpened it so that there’s no getting past it.“
