The Challenge
Launching a newcomer in a crowded market
Bodycare is packed with familiar names and functional claims, so a newcomer must be both distinctive and relevant. Francisco also wanted more than another sports remedy. The brand had to speak to elite athletes, everyday movers and everyone in between. The question was simple: how do you position a muscle cream for daily use, not just for recovery?


Strategy
Movement starts with motivation
Because the formula warms only when you start moving, it is both a practical aid and a subtle motivator. We used that insight to position the brand as a playful nudge towards activity in all its forms. You are ready to move whenever it suits you. With that promise in mind, The Valley created the name Ever Ready. The hardest part of any workout is starting; the product helps lower that barrier by warming muscles, boosting confidence and making movement feel more inviting. The brand encourages participation in sport, everyday tasks and spontaneous bursts of action.


Brand identity
Bold, warm, and ready for action
The identity had to express energy, warmth and excitement while staying approachable. The new logo takes cues from the infinity symbol, creating a distinctive mark that suggests flow and readiness with a dynamic edge. The colour palette moves from cooler purples and blues to warmer reds and oranges, mirroring the product’s warming effect on skin. The result is an organic, informative visual language that supports the product benefits and works across packaging and communications.



Launch campaign: social‑first, movement‑driven
To introduce the brand and spotlight the warming formula, we developed a social‑first campaign built for playfulness, distinctiveness and shareability. Meet Tim and Tom, two quirky, dancing birds who need a little muscle motivation before taking the stage. With Ever Ready, they are set to perform, and then some. The creative idea links to everyday moments, from pre‑workout routines to last‑minute grocery runs, showing how Ever Ready supports muscles, athletes and spontaneous movers alike. The visual world echoes the packaging: vibrant, high‑energy colour and a “bird of paradise” reference as a symbol of playful movement and confidence.
Impact
By pairing a social‑first approach with a clear creative idea, Ever Ready entered the market with momentum. The campaign positions the brand as a fresh, motivating presence in bodycare, relevant beyond recovery and useful as a spark for movement in daily life.
