Two words that say all the right things.
HS Trading is a New Zealand-based importer of quality foods. They briefed us in to create an umbrella brand for a range of wholesome products they were bringing into the country. It needed to conjure up a sense of naturally grown goodness amid lush green fields and bright sunny skies (the sort of idealised world we remember as kids).
Oh yes, and there had to be a strong Kiwi feel about it too.
After much bouncing around of ideas we came up with Riverside Farm, supported by a simple graphic element that conjures up all the rustic serenity the name implies.
Creativity cooked to perfection.
We wanted the food to be the star – a deliciously balanced blend of inspiration and aspiration. What better way to achieve this than by asking a top Auckland chef to create a range of dishes using the duck and then art directing a skilled food photographer to capture the end results.
Getting food to fly off the shelves.
The first range on the Riverside Farm menu was pre-cooked Duck – a first for New Zealand that has since secured shelf space in Countdown stores nationwide.
An elegantly simple dish overlaid on a rustic wooden background shows how consumers can use pre-cooked duck to create restaurant-style dishes quickly and easily in their own homes. At the same time, the imagery and choice of typeface helps to reinforce the brand’s values of down-home honesty and goodness.
Countdown have taken the full range.
“We are so pleased with the packaging, the product is selling really well and Countdown have taken the full range.”
