Birds Eye Simple pleasure

The fabric of the nation’s freezer

Redesigning a literal national icon. To make Birds Eye and its sub-brands as easy to rustle up as fish fingers for dinner.

We spanned markets across Europe, driving a brand experience that holds strong globally and hits home locally.

Simplicity
on a plate

The scale of the ask: implement the biggest brand redesign in more than a decade – for a household name we all grew up with . No pressure.

Poring over a new leaf

Modernised, magnified, moved from a quiet corner to the centre. A redesigned red leaf becomes the beacon for the whole brand to stem from.

A powerhouse of icons

The lock-up with a second leaf holds the product name, and lays down an architecture sturdy enough to stretch across all of its sub-brands.

The sound of family dinner

Simple, conversational language that captures the warmth and ease of a family dinner in every word on pack.

A beacon
through
the fog

Bright, bold colours cut through the noisy neighbourhood of the freezer aisle. Showing through fogged-up glass to short-circuit recognition in a section too cold to spend time in.

Food that knows its angles

Perfect perspective. Whether potato waffle, or pea. Pack photography corrects the myth that frozen can’t be beautiful, shooting each product individually, at the angle that makes them look most appetising.
Working with 1HQ is always a great experience. They understand our business, our goals, our ways of working, and work hard to help manage our many internal stakeholders. At the same time, they always stretch and challenge our thinking, highlighting creative routes that bring new perspectives on what we are trying to achieve.
