Shifting away from the sterile colour palette typically associated with pharmacies, creative agency Franklyn has infused Capsule’s materials and packaging with bold yellows, blues and oranges. A series of playful patterns and motifs depict pills, vitamins and other medical paraphernalia as cityscapes, hearts and kaleidoscopic prints.

The language used in Capsule’s communications is personable and upbeat, compared to the formal tone of traditional medical institutions, and in line with our Anti-authenticity Marketing macrotrend. According to the company website, Capsule is ‘the type of pharmacy made up of friendly, caring pharmacists who call you ‘dear’. We are also people who take pleasure in looking after people’.
