According to BAV & Y&R research that examined 800,000 customers brands that embrace and effectively balance opposite tensions are much stronger. Just like Princess Diana embodying both commonality and royalty, or Jim Morrison blending poetry with rock stardom, brands like IKEA or ZARA successfully navigate the tension between design and affordability.

Clarity Agency's strategy for Infarm and Mark & Spencer ingeniously leveraged the tension theory by juxtaposing the brand's innovative technology with terminology associated with "taste" and "quality food." We offered the brand name "RAW," to signifies freshness and tastiness to consumers, despite the underlying technological sophistication.

This intentional fusion of the modern and the traditional creates a captivating tension at the core of the Infarm and Marks & Spencer brand, elevating its appeal and making it more memorable and buzzworthy.

Opposites build character - the tension between opposing qualities enhance a brand's character and appeal, making it more compelling and memorable.

By leveraging contradictions, brands can differentiate themselves in the market and forge stronger connections with their consumers.
