We’ve been shortlisted for the Best Re-Packaging of a Brand for our re-design of Morrison’s Home Baking Category.
We worked together with Morrisons to refresh and develop their Home Baking category which has delivered an impressive increase in sales across the category of 42.8% (and the batter mix has increased by 395.2%).
The key to the new identity was to engage with shoppers, delivering the information they
needed clearly and allowing them to shop quickly and easily. The typography communicates
the product and its benefits, a contemporary colour palette makes the range relevant and
exciting to the shopper. Keeping the communication consistent across the products helped
with shopper selection and a structured design enable translation across the variety of packaging
formats.
Simplicity was the key to the range as it brought together diverse products from flour to cake
decorations, cake mixes to pizza dough. Simple to use instructions were created for back of
pack to continue the shopper support all the way home.
Wish us luck!

Over the last fifteen years or so there has been a steadily increasing desire for design to prove its commercial value, to demonstrate to clients that their investment is tangibly worth it.
This has been driven by a number of factors: the recession of the early 1990s demanded that design stake its claim to straitened budgets; above the line advertising reaches fewer and fewer people, so companies are looking for other routes to achieve a return on marketing investment; and perhaps design is growing up as an industry – recognising itself, and being recognised by clients, as a commercial tool, not just an exercise in beautifying. Other areas of marketing communications already operate on a strictly commercial basis, so why shouldn’t design?…

We, Touchpoint, have a rather good foosball table that we challenge each other to a match and with the world cup app on us it might be a good time to upgrade our humble table.
This is a foosball table created by GRO design and Tim modelmakers. It’s called ‘11 – The Beautiful Game’, because 11 is the number of players on each team, and it’s beautiful when you beat someone and they have to make the tea.

From Levi Root’s humble beginnings on a market stall his ever developing brand has seemed to have had a life of its own. Going from a simple spicy sauce through to ready stir in sauces, ready and frozen meals, pastries and nuts it appears anything can have the taste of the Caribbean.
The branding and personailty of the brand remains constant which means it has instant recognition wherever it may pop up in the supermarket.
I am personally waiting for Reggae Reggae ice cream. Surely it cant be a long way off!
