The brand I’d like to talk about is Duolingo.

Their audience is language learners around the world.

One of the biggest challenges language learners face is staying motivated, since the process can often feel long and boring. To address this, Duolingo created a character — a mischievous owl who acts as a teammate, coach, and friend — making the learning experience more fun and engaging.

As there are many brands which are helping there audience related to issue held in their teeth but toothpaste is the first brand which has the motive to help their audience regarding problem like cavity or  problems related to teeth.

There are many chalenges as i told that many other brand also started creating same thing but the believe that audience have in toothpaste made that brand grow more. For more reach in their brand they started ads on television, social media platforms and they have own there website through which it will be easier for the audience to connect with the brand.

Kerala Hub – a healthy cloud kitchen born out of love and purpose by a couple in their 60s. Their mission is simple yet powerful: to help busy people with tight schedules choose wholesome food over unhealthy, oily options.

In North India, especially in Ajmer, Rajasthan, mornings often begin with samosas, kachodis, or kadi – all deep-fried, heavy, and harmful to start the day with. Teachers, bankers, and working professionals in a rush usually grab these from nearby shops. Seeing this, the couple decided to spread awareness about the importance of eating right, no matter how hectic life gets. They explain how oily breakfasts can make you feel dizzy, sluggish, and dull – and instead offer an authentic, nourishing alternative: South Indian classics like fluffy idlis (steamed rice cakes) and hearty sambar (a vegetable-packed curry).

Every meal is lovingly prepared by the wife, carefully packed by the husband, and delivered by both of them together – a gesture that builds a warm, personal connection with their customers. Families often invite them for lunch, touched not only by the food but also by the care behind it.

Their efforts have paid off. Kerala Hub has grown because of their genuine intention: to ensure people put healthier food into their bodies. As a yoga instructor and health enthusiast, the couple believes that food is more than taste – it’s nourishment – and they are determined to share that philosophy with the world.
