KROGER

Brand Management

Kroger Store Brand | Kroger trusted us to update and maintain the graphic standards for their Kroger brand line for 10 years. This line covered many categories, hundreds of SKUs, and a multitude of packaging structures. Graphic standards were updated and maintained for this store brand line. 

The Kroger Cheese category was confusing to consumers. In talking with them, we learned that their decision process with the Kroger brand required five steps. We reduced it to two. We also launched a distinctive, cohesive brand look for the entire line that created a cohesive block for their 1,000+ SKUs.


 
Kennedy Consultants is our most valuable partner…they do a great job of partnering with us…with great professionalism. They work exceptionally well with all players within the organization and throughout the supply chain…(and) have a vast technical knowledge of all processes, yet are wonderfully creative. A rare and exceptional combination!

PRIVATE SELECTION LABELING

Private Selection Coffee | Kroger wasn’t sure how to make their Private Selection coffees move. We dove head-first into history, trends, the current shelf, and category opportunity. Having created a detailed consumer segmentation, we recommended that Kroger revisit their entire coffee line with a new strategy for the shelf to drive awareness. Then our design team used the insights to tailor packaging cues to appeal to these different segments within the category, and we supported the effort with ongoing promotions.

Private Selection Nuts | We designed labels using vibrant color panels and custom illustration to create a unique snack experience for this new line of exotic, flavored nuts. We also provided story copy that highlighted the specific seasoning in each bag.
