Challenge
Stacy’s faced its first declines over recent years as competition in the inspired-deli space strengthened, challenged by low brand awareness and high switching in the category. Consumers were looking for deliciously crafted snacks, but saw Stacy’s™ as one of many substitutable dip carriers. Frito-Lay wanted to refresh the Stacy’s brand to increase penetration with existing and lapsed users.
Action Taken
DuPuis redesigned the core Stacy’s line to communicate a premium tone and great appetite. We paired delicious-looking Flashlight Studio food photography with simple, yet inspired typography to elevate the everyday. The brandmark refresh was a delightful pairing of modernity and simple elegance allowing for just the right pop in the noisy deli section. With the new core brand identity established, we extended it to the full portfolio as well as innovation and seasonal offerings. To bring the brand refresh off the shelf, we partnered with Stacy’s on print advertising and tradeshow support.
Results
The “perfect pairings” ad concept tied to the brand refresh scored highest in Frito-Lay’s PRS history.
