Context
Following an in-depth consumer research on canned meat or meat-based ready meals market, which revealed that although men are the main consumers in this category, there is no brand to address their specific needs or speak their language, Scandia Food approaches BrandTailors to develop Rancho, a medium-priced brand directly targeted at them.

Solution

With a product range designed for men pressed meat, pate and meals with a high content of satiable meats (pork and veal) and a strong, spicy taste appreciated by the target, Rancho had the right premises to become the brand-of-choice for men. The brand development was inspired by these product attributes, leading to Rancho being defined as the brand of canned foods that feeds masculinity, satisfying hunger and boosting the ego altogether.

The visual identity was meant to be the very embodiment of manliness, drawing its inspiration from the universe of westerns and ranches, to go hand in hand with the brand name.

The package design concept builds further on the logo idea, introducing the leather belt that compliments the visual identity and at the same time generates the graphic system, by separating the appealing product shot from the denominators. The belt created the opportunity for introducing the picture of a gun, as an element that makes the western look and feel complete and the chilli peppers, as bullets, suggesting the spiciness of the range.
