Design Challenge

The requirement Loacker had for the agency, was to communicate on the packs the recipe changeover, highlighting the product new pluses and also by increasing the brand perception, the aim was to find the right balance between the new brand vertical integration and the distinction among the diverse product lines. Following many meetings it has been commonly decided to go beyond the starting brief, which lead Spider to the definition of a global strategy, through rebranding till the establishment of a pack system for each product line and up to the communication of every POS.

Research

Spider did involve the Loacker Team to evaluate the over 200 references and for purposes of rationalization of all ranges; a definition for all categories was offered, along with one for each different positioning. The outcome of this work are various paths grounded on different strategic approaches and then declensed on reference of representation. The most efficient proposals have been tested with 5 iconic products and then verified by means of neuroscience, for instance measuring the attentionality of the consumers’ glance on the shelves, on the products and on the packaging zone. Afterwards, a POS market test followed, until the achievement of a final choice, the one consumers are used to see every day on the large scale distribution racks.

Inspiration

Loacker is not just a brand, is a family name. Furthermore Loacker is on the territory, actually it is the territory. From these considerations, the logo in the shape of a coat of arms was born, onto which the Mt. Sciliar has been incorporated: it is the Heritage Shield, inspired by the historical Loacker crest, which exhaustively expresses the essence of the brand, family name, roots and nature. A life philosophy that started in 1925 when Alfons Loacker settled to build his plant at 1000 meters of height.

Project Duration

The project started in September 2018 between Torino and Bolzano, and finished in 2021.

Operation Flow

Spider has faced the challenge using our own method, by joining creative thought and strategic thinking. The agency has interviewed the Company multiple times, a chat with consumers and then suppliers. Spider has analyzed all sources: packagings shapes, products structure and their distinctive features. All maps have been gathered: conceptual ones, brand architecture maps and competitors’ charts.
