As a much-loved household name (and face) worldwide, Jamie Oliver needed a brand that reflected his ‘pukka’ personality. The existing brand was inconsistent and disorientated, with a number of different looks being used across the globe. We saw the opportunity to create a coherent and cohesive brand which worked effortlessly across the product categories, at the same time bringing Jamie’s passion for food to the fore.
Our inspiring design architecture had an eclectic, artisan feel, harnessing the brand's biggest asset. Jamie himself.
Our challenge was to create a design that shone across the entire product range, which included food, cookware, entertaining and gifting. One which licensees could easily replicate in an inspiring and authentic way.
Disparate and unloved, Asda's Organic range lacked consistent brand assets with no clear graphical signpost in store or online. It needed a fresh and cohesive new look, that would be instantly recognisable in a busy and saturated
store environment.
We visited store and reviewed the packaging, presenting the following observations:
• The packaging lacked familiar natural cues. The turquoise background and tropical leaves felt appropriate for the human plant-based category.
• The paw graphic was not an ownable asset.
• At shelf, differentiation was a big problem between cat, dog and the different pack formats.
• The packs lacked food appeal, with no emotional connection for pet parents.
• The overpackaged and shiny bags felt artificial and made legibility poor at shelf.
To really get under the skin of the brand, we immersed ourselves in the competitor landscape, carrying out stakeholder workshops in Germany to find out what makes them unique. We engaged with all departments, from design to supply chain, to discover the brand’s DNA and get everyone behind the new brand strategy.
The Dawat wordmark stands tall and proud, subtly crafted to add an Indian flair. The central and open stance of the ‘W’ kicks off the joyful and optimistic vibe of the identity.
We created a new identity for Faye, using the shape of speech marks in the logo to represent self-expression and emphasise the self-affirming tone of voice. To represent the audience of the ‘Faye sisterhood’, all photography and illustrations were natural and unedited, a celebration of diversity and individuality.
The food photography style was also everything-Jamie, a celebration of his love of good food. Bright and bold imagery showed delicious dishes in a ‘real-world’ setting… crumbs and all.
Thanks to our rebrand, Faye now represents and celebrates female confidence, quirks and contradictions… unapologetic and unfiltered.
By adding ‘Your’ to the brand name, developing a more personal tone-of-voice, and focusing on a human-centric photography style, we created a collection of own-able brand assets that showcase the one-to-one service Your Engine Room provides. To pay homage to the original logo, the cog was pulled into the imagery and the graphics were evolved to become softer and warmer, effectively symbolising Your Engine Room's vision of being an integral part of their clients team.
Jamie's warm and friendly voice resonated on the packs, bursting with the enthusiasm and joy that makes him so well-loved. Crackling with energy, you can hear Jamie in every word.
We created a suite of bespoke illustrations that combine the fluidity of the painted backgrounds with layered collage elements. The backgrounds evoke liquid infusion, whist the surprising colour combinations of the cut out style botanicals and ingredients add depth, blending traditional and modern aesthetics seamlessly.
Our impactful, colourful photography evokes the energy of the brand, bursting with life and vibrancy.
We designed a comprehensive brand book, so the internal team could immerse themselves in the new world of Faye. Beautifully designed, the layered transparent pages reflect the layering of Faye jewellery, a tactile brand book, it has a premium magazine feel, that audiences will want to engage with and keep.
Our logo radiates happiness, with the sunshine yellow and roof motif symbolising the joy of home. The “SO” lockup adds a conversational tone to headers, perfect for nifty statements and customer reviews. With thoughtful design at the heart of the brand, our sketch style annotations nod back to Kin’s internal product design team and the care and attention that goes into the creation of every product.
Asda invested heavily in increasing and diversifying the budget friendly range. It now stretches into every household category from beans to bleach, cat litter and even shampoo, keeping price sensitive households running with all their weekly staples.
Asda invested heavily in gold foil across the whole of the Christmas range to elevate, raising quality perceptions even further.
Our all-encompassing rebrand put Jamie firmly at its heart, with the flexible and adaptable architecture a real reflection of his endearing personality. The brand was purposefully designed, giving it the reach to extend across all product tiers and categories. From entry-level kitchen utensils to premium oils and balsamic vinegars, the brand was unmistakably, unequivocally, Jamie.
2021 saw the birth of their Expert Antenatal Classes, a modern approach taught exclusively by registered nurses. From the existing brand architecture we developed a suite of assets born from an ultrasound scan, the logo represents both an ‘M’ and the shape of the baby. This is then used as a fluid line acting as a connector between mum-to-be and the antenatal community.
Jamie’s big, distinctive personality is within his brand’s DNA, alive and present in every image, every word, every colour. We created a strong set of brand guidelines to make sure each pack is crafted individually, yet works seamlessly within the whole product range.
A suite of flexible bold background colours gives the brand modernity, whilst allowing appropriate differentiation across SKUs and categories.
An extension of the My Expert Midwife team, we have an ongoing creative partnership. Our highly targeted approach harmonises across all online, social and paid media.
Recent campaigns include ‘putting the u back into mum’, which we developed to raise awareness to the importance of self-care in motherhood.
