Brand innovation in Muller’s GroupWhen Muller came to us in 2012, over 1 million people had lost their desire for a delicious, yummy Muller Corner. Also increasing rivalry from the competition of other dairy products, their packaging design was turning consumers uninterested. They were starting to search for other brands. The brief of Muller group was to redesign the complete Muller range of products, to be an ‘invitation’, rather than a signpost. Moreover, consumers’ perceptions of what delicious food look like having moved on with the advent of celebrity chefs and programmes such as the Great British Bake Off. They needed to create desire and define individual propositions and personalities for each of the sub barns to aid consumer navigation and get consumers to fall back in love with the brand again. Visual Planning helped Muller define individual propositions, with the iconic corners being beautifully delicious and luring.
