Kettle Chips has been a staple in Australia’s premium snack market, but faced increasing competition that threatened its status. To address this, The Edison Agency was brought in to refine, rather than reinvent, the brand's packaging. The goal was to modernize Kettle’s visual identity and storytelling without losing the essence that has built customer loyalty over the years. This involved creating a cohesive and appealing portfolio that would resonate with today’s consumers.
The strategy focused on redefining “craft” for a modern audience. Edison examined successful cues from other premium markets, such as wine and spirits, to find a balance between authenticity and approachability. They maintained key brand elements like the Kettle stripe but simplified its design. Typography was softened to evoke warmth, and photography shifted to highlight ingredients rather than overly styled visuals. The updated color palette and layout structure improved shelf navigation and consistency, making the brand visually appealing while retaining its core identity.
Consumer testing showed positive results, with increased clarity in navigation and a stronger perception of premium quality. Kettle's packaging now stands out more effectively against competitors, helping to restore the brand’s relevance in the premium snacking category. The refined design not only enhanced external consumer perceptions but also streamlined internal portfolio management, allowing teams to execute the brand’s vision with confidence.
