Hochland Atelier

Client: Hochland

Brand: Atelier

Project: Packaging redesign

The Brief:

Hochland is market leader in cheese category in Romania, with a significant market share across the entire Europe.

Ampro’s task was to develop a brand extension for an upper mainstream product line: natural, crafted hard cheese.

 

The Solution:

After we nailed the naming, Atelier, the visual identity was developed based on a craft & premium look & feel: handwritten name and hand-drawn graphic elements on a blackboard.

The heroes of the packaging design are the name of the sub-brand and the product claim.

Alint

Client: Milkcom

Brand: Alint

Project: Brand development & packaging design

The Brief:

Milkcom is a local dairy company that produces milk-based products for over 20 years, but with a very low focus on marketing and branding.

Our mission was to perform a corporate rebranding, as well as a new product brand strategy and product brand development.

The Solution:

The in-depth audit revealed the urgent need for a fresh mainstream brand and, based on the new strategy, we created Alint (endearment /caress), a brand that speaks about optimism, nature and pure dairy products.

The entire visual universe was built by naive illustrations, handmade typography, pastel colors and childhood nostalgia.

 

 

 

 

Milkom

Client: Milkcom

Brand: Milkcom

Project: Corporate branding

 

The Brief:

Find a crystal clear corporate brand positioning with a comprehensive brand definition and redesign the Milkcom visual identity to reflect the new brand platform.

 

The Solution:

For the past 20 years, Milkcom has made all their products with no compromises: authentic, natural and nothing else!

Therefore, the main message for the brand is honest and simple: “Milk from Intorsura Buzaului”

The new brand identity relies on the clean visual territory and the round symbol that captures the DNA of the brand: clean products from Intorsura Buzaului.

Nestlé – Mura

Client: Nestlé Bulgaria

Brand: Mura

Project: Packaging redesign

The Brief:

Mura is an iconic wafer brand in Bulgaria and our mission was to redesign the packaging in order to strengthen the visual identity and rejuvenate the brand. Leveraging the brand heritage and positive image, ensuring improved visibility and stand-out was a must. Another important objective was to better organize the ranges in terms of visuals, with a clearer differentiating system.

The Solution:

After conducting the brand audit, we concluded that we needed to balance the brand signal and the flavor color-coding.

So, the new front of pack was developed in a diagonal visual system, where the brand color is on the upper side, while the product-related visual cues and the flavor color-coding are on the lower side.

This new front of pack architecture ensures a great brand block with a good flavor differentiation on any packaging format: landscape, square, or portrait.

 

 

 

Star Krax

Client: Pepsico

Brand: Krax (Star)

Project: Packaging redesign

Brief objectives:
Our mission was to redesign the packaging for 4 flavors (bacon, cheese, pizza, paprika) so that the entire Star portfolio would tell the same story to the consumers, while keeping some of the well-rooted elements.

Strategy:
We had already created the Star packaging design with a focus on the idea of “sharing”. We had created a bucked with the snacks so that we would emphasize the togetherness, the fun of being together and of enjoying a great snack.

Creative concept:
We made sure that the puffed snacks of Krax would be the “star” of the packaging design, even if the bucket stays as the common element of the Star portfolio. In order to do this, we included drawings of the puffed snacks on the bucket itself and we put some key-elements such as “wow” so that we “speak the language of the teeangers” – the slogan of the brand.

 

Biodeck

Client: Biodeck SA

Brand: Biodeck

Project: Packaging redesign

The Brief:

Biodeck is a Romanian pioneer in the compostable disposable packaging industry.

Ampro’s task was to redesign their packaging in order to stand out on shelf.

The Solution:

After conducting a thorough brand audit, we realized that the self-adhesive label that Biodeck and the other players were using was not the winning solution for a strong shelf presence. So, we designed a range of cardboard sleeves for all the products, that allows the branding to be seen from any angle, no matter how the products are placed on the shelf.

As for the visual territory, the big idea was to use a reinterpreted camouflage theme, based on the idea that the products are coming from nature and they perfectly reintegrate in the nature once their life cycle is done.

Joe Dreams

Client: Nestle Romania

Brand: Joe

Project: Packaging design

The Brief:

Joe is the local iconic Nestle brand of wafers, launched 20 years ago on the Romanian market.

The main objective of the brief was to grow the category value through innovations, consolidate leadership by increasing the market share, as well as to develop the category to a new stage, a premium one.

The Solution:

We aimed to capture the same Joe “light indulgence”, but with a touch of premiumness.

The main concept that took root in the creative process was that this range needs to communicate that it is more than snacking, less than “stress” eating – an indulgence that you can reward yourself with every day. Because we wanted to achieve a dynamic and premium look and feel from the get go, the design is centered on the precious colors, handwritten font and special finishing, such as selective varnish. In addition, the product shot captures the layers of the wafer, communicating a tasty look and an honest one at the same time.
