Mingle Seasoning

Real flavour, that’s real easy

Mingle has taken the seasoning aisle by storm, the all-natural seasoning has shaken up the category and is ready to spread its ingredients across the world. After many years of success as a category disruptor in the Australian grocery food aisle, Mingle decided it was time to grow up and evolve the brand for future (home) Chefs. The challenge? Elevate the brand, its perception and strengthen the brand recognition across all 40+ products (and counting).

The challenge was to reimagine the brand and tell a story through the lens of the natural seasoning product in a very 'Mingle' way. And that's where we started, by defining the "mingle brand". After a series of discovery workshops, collaborative think tanks, and testing, the brand's DNA and flavours were set.

We had a bold vision for Mingle beyond the product from the moment we met with Jordyn and the team. We were inspired by their enthusiasm and passion - it’s that exact feeling we wanted to capture in the brand.

The in-store experience and shelf presence were both critical to their retail strategy. How can we create a "Mingle" experience on shelf, make it more visible but let everyone know it's still their favourite seasoning product, with just a bit of a shake-up? Mingle worked with our retail experience and utilised the relationship formed over the years with their key retail partners to help identify how the packaging can play a key role in generating the cut-through at store level.

Refreshing what made Mingle, Mingle
Our design team began by identifying Mingle’s most distinctive brand assets and understanding how they could support the next evolution of the identity. Rather than moving away from what made the brand recognisable, we used these core elements as the foundation for a refreshed packaging strategy.

By honouring Mingle’s existing brand equity and building from its established visual cues, we created an evolved identity system that feels familiar, ownable and more cohesive across the range.

Keeping Minglers Mingling
Beyond the identity system and packaging design, we extended the brand experience across other mediums to tell the story and keep fellow minglers….mingling. We've created a series of brand collateral and assets that help express the Mingle brand.
