Smirnoff Minty Jamun shelf talker

Smirnoff Minty Jamun

A counter-top unit and a shelf talker for a new flavour. Point-of-sale proposals for the launch of Smirnoff’s Minty Jamun, made with Extento for Diageo. I used AI to render a full set of display options in days, each one sent with its build spec, so the client could choose from something close to real.

01On the counter

The counter-top unit

Put the new 90 ml bottle within reach at the counter, and make the flavour impossible to miss.

Each render went to the client with its dimensions and materials. For the pour unit:

Overall
720 × 320 × 340 mm
Bottle tray
300 × 300 × 170 mm
Header board
320 × 540 mm, 18 mm MDF, direct UV print

The pour. A printed board unit with the bottle caught mid-pour over a glass of ice, and a tray of 90 ml bottles below.
Lit counter unit asking What’s your flavour today, with a sampler
The sampler. A lit header asks “What’s your flavour today?” and points to a Minty Jamun serve, with the bottles on a glowing plinth.
Lit acrylic counter unit with three Smirnoff flavours on steps
The range. Lit acrylic steps put Minty Jamun in the middle of Smirnoff’s flavours, on a base that reads “The world’s No. 1 vodka”.

The tower. Three stacked cubes of frosted, lit acrylic, each one stocked with Minty Jamun and marked with Smirnoff on every face.
02In the aisle

The shelf talker

Stop shoppers in the vodka aisle, where a whole shelf of Smirnoff looks alike.

AI put each talker onto a real-looking shelf, so the client could judge it at the size and distance a shopper would.
