Roche Bros Brand Refresh

Roche Bros · Brand identity refresh

The existing branding felt dated and undersold the quality of the products, so I refreshed the brand standards, drawing on the bright colors of fresh produce to give it a fresher, more consistent look. I carried the new direction across private label packaging, subscriber mail, and the website - and after the rebrand, private label sales grew 37%.
