We’ve been working with the lovely people at Gallo, in Robbio – a city and comune in the Italian region Lombardy, 50 km southwest of Milan, for the last 15 years…

Established in 1856, today it is ruled by the 6th generation of the founding family. They send their briefs 1,500km to us in downtown Bollington (pop 8,310), Cheshire – where we designed the above for our market here in the UK.

Alongside Italy, we’ve done pack design for most of the rest of Europe, North and South America, Asia, Russia, Australia – in fact the only place we haven’t designed for is North Korea (yet)…

So. Borders are no barrier. And great ideas are universal. We have translators, foreign language typesetters – and well travelled creatives with ideas that cross boundaries.

Andiamo!

We love food.

Branding it. Advertising it. Shooting it, writing about it, designing the packaging it comes in, even occasionally eating it.

All kinds of food. Frozen food for Royal Greenland. Italian food for Riso Gallo and Sacla. Convenience food for Today’s Foodservice. Chocolate promotions for Thornton’s. Takeaway food for Mr Lam’s, even pet food for Applaws and Encore – and countless branding and rebranding jobs…

And despite looking like a million dollars, you’ll find the bill won’t cause indigestion – because repeat business is genuinely so important to us we price our work realistically – and always quote upfront.

We love the food branding business, and we like to think we’re pretty good at it – but we’re hungry for more… So if anything here whets your appetite we’d love to hear from you. Because there’s always room at the table for one more…

Advertising is awash with visual metaphors. Some work well, cutting through the constant bombardment we consumers are subjected to on a daily – or hourly basis – to not only engage, but to further our understanding of a service or product which in turn prompts us to buy.

Others are so obscure they simply don’t register.

Some are wildly ambitious, complex and overproduced, so losing the message in some creative team’s hugely expensive self indulgent excess. (I know this, slightly guilty face).

Enter the humble illustration.

Because simple is best, as cunningly delivered on The Mobberley Brewhouse’s ‘White Can’ range of experimental beers.

Happy client loved the positive response from customers. Happy agency loved approval from happy client.
