Design

Masterchef

Mezan approached us to look at refreshing the existing brand of ready to cook meal range as well as extending the design to include the communication for the region. The current design’s unique messaging wasn’t coming through for the regional audience.

Context

Our job was to infuse a brand new synergy through design. We were aiming for a Middle Eastern and Asian market so whatever we did had to look trustworthy, authentic and premium. After the brand component, we conducted a thorough user- experience and digital service design process, delivering a range of assets – such as recipe cards, recipe-app and the product website. It was clear the MasterChef brand experience needed to offer a point of difference to its audiences; gastronomic and educational product information, customer endorsement; recipe suggestions.

We needed to find that one key point of difference; giving customers a reason to buy direct. And buy again.

Strategy

We identified that our packaging needs to focus on communicating the functional benefits of the products and introduce them to a world of cooking beyond the basic recipe on the packaging communication. We introduced a recipe finder tool online that allowed users to easily find what they were searching for in a fun themed website.

With an initial launch of a broad-based identity. it was important to establish key fundamentals through digital assets that clearly signposted the benefit of each product.

Outcome

The brand’s organic roots formed a key part of our value proposition and product messaging – underpinned by the move to simple foods with clean ingredients and minimal processing. The customers were immersed in a world of recipes both through the print and digital media. All the iconographic elements in the packaging ended up being weaved into beautiful, elegant illustrations and photography into a website that was simple, structured and easy to understand.
