CASE STUDY
Sector: Consumer Goods | Household Products | Caribbean Markets
Client Overview:
C.I.C. is one of the Caribbean’s leading manufacturers of household detergents and plastic packaging materials, headquartered in Suriname. Among their top-performing consumer brands is Ozon — a trusted name in everyday cleaning products distributed across multiple Caribbean nations.
While Ozon had a solid offline presence, its digital footprint was lagging behind, especially on key platforms like Facebook and Instagram. That’s when C.I.C. turned to Thrive Design Studio to reimagine Ozon’s social media presence with a regionally nuanced, performance-driven strategy.
CHALENGE
Ozon faced two key obstacles:
Lack of Creative Bandwidth
Internal teams were stretched thin and unable to consistently ideate or execute engaging content.
Cultural Fragmentation
Messaging that worked in Suriname didn’t always resonate with audiences in other Caribbean territories, leading to low engagement and brand disconnect.
Results & Impact
233% increase in average engagement rate within 90 days
Localized content strategy deployed across 12 Caribbean countries
Product-centered storytelling that drove purchase intent
Strengthened brand equity across multicultural markets
