Hungry & Co.
Master in Challenging Branding
Master’s Final Project for Labasad
Team: Cristina Fernández, Julio Lurbe, Marta Gil and Pili Enrich
Brand Strategy, Naming, Branding, Identity, Packaging
This brand has the purpose to promote a healthy diet for ourselves and the planet, being a source of inspiration through the gastronomic diversity that they offer you.
The brand Hungry & Co. was born as the final project for the Master in Challenging Branding by Labasad. The co-directors Olmo García, Hèctor Puig and Olivier Montiel - also partners at the branding agency Bold - briefed and guided us to create a new vegan food brand, from the strategy to designing all the packaging.
We started doing the benchmarking, analasing up to 6 direct competitors, such as: Heura, Beyond Meat, Noel, Garden Gourmet and more.
From here we created a qualitative interview to send out to future potential costumers, and from this information, created our Brand Persona. This Brand Persona is our target, from it we know its personality, interests, concerns and needs, and also, purchase drivers.
After all this research we got our conclusions and found where the opportunity was to design a brand that stands out and goes beyond the normative, beyond what’s expected.
Our challenge was to create a brand of vegan food products aimed at everyone, exploring endless flavours of the world from the comfort of our home.

Tagline
“Hambrientos por comernos el mundo”
("Hungry to eat the world")
The tagline has been worked from the brand personality and the naming Hungry & Co. Through the concept of hungry it is possible to unite the values and the “dining buddy” personality, hungry to experience new multicultural flavours, playing with the catchphrase "eat the world".

Production
For the packaging production, we are committed to recyclable and biodegradable materials for the least impact possible in a negative way to the planet.
The primary and secondary packaging have been worked with trays of sugar cane, biodegradable and safe for food conservation.
The provider of these is national of Spain, Terrasa, and therefore we continue betting on the national product and reducing the carbon footprint within our processes of production.
Regarding the tertiary packs, they have been designed with recycled cardboard, single colour ink, to lessen the impact on one more part - prioritising transportation instead of user experience.
On the other hand, for the design of the different labels we have chosen 100% recycled papers.
